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?
