It depends on what you mean by "32 or 64 version".

---

If you want to check if it uses 32-bit integers or 64-bit integers, use the following:

perl -V:ivsize      # use Config; say $Config{ivsize}
[download]

• If the returned value is 4, your Perl uses 32-bit integers.
• If the returned value is 8, your Perl uses 64-bit integers.

---

If you want to check if it uses 32-bit pointers or 64-bit pointers, use the following:

perl -V:ptrsize     # use Config; say $Config{ptrsize}
[download]

• If the returned value is 4, your Perl can address 4 GB of RAM.
• If the returned value is 8, your Perl can address "unlimited" RAM.

---

If you want to check if it's a 32-bit program or a 64-bit program, use the following:

perl -V:archname    # use Config; say $Config{archname}
[download]

• If the returned value includes x86_64, it's a 64-bit process.
• If the returned value includes x86 (but not x86_64), it's a 32-bit process.

This value is also included in the output of perl -v.

---

Note: You shouldn't be checking use64bitint or use64bitall as these indicate what parameters were passed to Configure rather than provide information about what was actually used.
