note markjugg Not necessarily. Check that this value is the same: <code> "perl -V:archname" </code> For example, on my current machine, the value is: i386-freebsd-64int However, another FreeBSD box running the same OS version might not be 64 bit, so the answer would be: <code> i386-freebsd </code> <!-- Node text goes above.
