Re^2: Perl Distribution differences for i686/x86

This, too, was a good call. I put the emulator directory at the start of my search path, just to make sure POSIX wasn't using the system uname to determine its output, then ran a quick debugging session.

  PATH=/emul/ia32-linux/bin:$PATH perl -de 0

Enter h or `h h' for help, or `man perldebug' for more help.

main::(-e:1):    0

  DB<1> use POSIX

  DB<2> x POSIX::uname
0  'Linux'
1  'frodo'
2  '2.6.16.60-0.60.1-default'
3  '#1 SMP Tue Mar 9 09:44:12 UTC 2010'
4  'ia64'

`POSIX::uname()` does not call the external uname(1) program but the uname(2) syscall that, depending on the instruction set for which the running program was compiled, returns `ia64` or `i686`. So, calling `POSIX::uname()` is not going to solve the OP problem.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
