note diotalevi <p>In general, perl strives to have a static binary interface. If you're using another perl 5.8.8 or 5.8.9, it should be able to use things compiled for perl 5.8.7. I wouldn't assume this would follow for things compiled to a different processor spec. I expect you'd find out immediately if it /didn't/ work so it won't hurt you to just try for i686 and see if it fails when loading something from i386.</p> <p>As for what CPU you're running, there's the uname program and the /proc directory. I don't know whether FreeBSD automatically mounts /proc or not.</p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-194920"> <p>&#x2824;&#x2824; &#x2819;&#x280a;&#x2815;&#x281e;&#x2801;&#x2807;&#x2811;&#x2827;&#x280a;</p> </div></div> 730833 730833
