Re: Installing 32 bit DBI.pm

Hi,

On MacOsx, perl is universal (ie both 64 and 32 bit). To install a 32 
bit module (for example, installing DBD::Sybase against a 32 middleware 
for sybase) you would use this..

    env ARCHFLAGS -i386 perl Makefile.PL

On linux, you could try using..

    setarch i386 perl Makefile.PL

I have never tried this on linux.  The setarch i386 tells perl tp see 
the machine it is running on as a 32 machine.  Of course, you would also 
need all the required 32 bit devel libs to be installed.
