Assuming the Unix system is POSIX compliant print `uname -m` [download] should do the trick. GNU uname also has -i, but that's not a POSIX requirement. And you could also look into `$Config::Config{archname}` and extract the architecture from that.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

If the above command is run on Solaris, you may run into an issue. Use `uname -sp` Read the Notes section here for details on that issue. Sun uname Manpage. In addition to uname, if you want any additional details about the processor, on Linux based systems. `cat /proc/cpuinfo`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
