MidLifeXis has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Back in Loading a 32-bit library via DynaLoader into 64-bit Perl 5.8.8 on HP-UX 11i, I found that I needed to recompile my Perl 5.8.8 in 32-bit mode due to an API library that I need only being available as a precompiled wrapper to an application we use only being available in 32-bit mode.

I have the 32-bit version of gcc 3.4.5 (from the hp development center), but the Configure script in the Perl distribution is forcing the lp64 flag to the compiler, which isn't recognized as a valid flag under the 32-bit version.

Any idea what flags I need to pass to configure to force 32-bit mode on this platform?
