how to build 32bit perl modules
hello, I recently tried to build the perl-Crypt-Rijndael for my x86_64 SuSE 9.3. The source was downloaded from CPAN and I tried to use Perl's Makefile.PL Almost half of the tests fail and only a forced install was allowed -- IOW a CPAN install will fail. However the source builds perfectly in the i586 arch. on my laptop. Is there a way to tell Perl to build and run it as 32Bit? Sorry if this is OT, but my instinct tells me that someone at SuSE has already thought/implemented this. regards, tlviewer __________________________________ Yahoo!

The compiler compiles 32bit with -m32. How to get that into the perl build system is a different issue though. -Andi
