Monks,

I just took a cursory look at the /usr/lib Perl directories on this X86_64 machine. Why is, for instance, the Crypt module installed in both:

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Crypt/

and

/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Crypt/

(System is SuSE 10.0)

Does this mean that it's useful in packaging Perl modules specifically for 32-bit architectures ? If so, how does this selection happens ? Is the default, on such machines, to build Perl modules exclusively for 64-bit machines ?

A bit confused here, so it seems ;-)
