Why would you use a 32bit perl when there's the 64bit version available?
this was a request from a colleague, I'd guess: test (and develop) perl code on 64bit system for 32bit target (without chroot etc. for valid internal reasons). if you get "some" perl stuff with shared libs or similar from 32bit world... I'm not a perl guy muyself, but I'd guess that there seem to exist some valid reasons for providing perl-32bit (and mono-32bit and many more) because otherwise you won't ship all those packages;) if it's really helpful, I can ask for a detailed usage scenario (no idea if it can be disclosed though)... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
