Hi all,

I found this one accidentally:

$ file /usr/perl5/5.22/bin/perl5.22.4 /usr/perl5/5.24/bin/perl5.24.3
/usr/perl5/5.22/bin/perl5.22.4: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1, dynamically linked, interpreter /usr/lib/ld.so.1, not stripped /usr/perl5/5.24/bin/perl5.24.3: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1, dynamically linked, interpreter /usr/lib/amd64/ld.so.1, not stripped

Just for curiosity: why is 5.22 32bit and 5.24 64bit only?

Or, will be 5.22 compiled as 64bit or just abandoned (replaced by 5.24)?
What are plans?

Hi. It's not easy to use one version of perl compiled as 32-bit and 64-bit (because we have no easy way of splitting perl modules), but we needed both 32-bit perl and 64-bit perl, so one version is 32-bit and newer is 64-bit. Later we'll likely deliver only 64-bit perl version.
