in reply to PERL 5.8 64 Bit

The perldoc entry for AIX states the following that may be applicable to your situation:

1. Using Large Files with Perl: Should yield no problems.
2. 64-bit Perl: If your AIX is installed with 64-bit support, you can expect 64bit configurations to work. In combination with threads some tests might still fail.

Best Wishes,

    I will look into the read-me files from this and another reply. Thanks for pointing me someplace. Not sure why this is my issue to track down as I am not a sysadmin on the server I only maintain the database on it. But I will certainly learn something from the process. I assume that anything already written in PERL under a 32-bit OS will function as-is under 64-bit and won't require any rewritting? These scripts are not complex they simply help me and other dba's with our daily jobs.

      That would be my understanding. No re-working of code should be needed at all.
