solaris8:1:42 [/] # /opt/harvestperl/bin/perl5.8.7 -V
Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 7) configuration:
Platform:
osname=solaris, osvers=2.7, archname=sun4-solaris-thread-multi-ld
uname='sunos sol7 5.7 generic_106541-20 sun4u sparc sunw,ultraax-mp
'
config_args=''
hint=recommended, useposix=true, d_sigaction=define
usethreads=define use5005threads=undef useithreads=define
usemultiplicity=define
useperlio=define d_sfio=undef uselargefiles=define usesocks=undef
use64bitint=undef use64bitall=undef uselongdouble=define
usemymalloc=n, bincompat5005=undef
[...]
Characteristics of this binary (from libperl):
Compile-time options: MULTIPLICITY USE_ITHREADS USE_LONG_DOUBLE
USE_LARGE_FILES PERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT
[...]
Apparently so. I don't recall explicitly choosing it, but
given that it's Solaris and there's 64-bit support, maybe I thought
it was the "right choice". Should I rebuild Perl to not use them?
