Hi dsb,

I don't quite follow (which is not necessarily your fault :-)

What is the output of perl -V for the perl you built yourself ?

When you fire up cpan, are you running the one that's part of the perl you built ? Or are you running the one that's part of the system perl ?
(You want the former.)

Is there a way to configure cpan to install 64-bit version to the architecture specific directories

Normally, make install will install into the correct location without there being any need to even think about it.
In which location are modules being placed ? ... and where precisely do you want them to be placed ?

Cheers,
Rob
