Something I've been asked about, and was wondering myself, since I don't have a 64 bit machine to play with - would a ppm package: http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/XML-LibXML built on a 32 bit machine work on a 64 bit machine (in principle)? For XML::LibXML, this would mean the external libxml2 library, as well as the perl glue, that goes into making the ppm package would have to be compatible. -- best regards, Randy _______________________________________________ Perl-XML mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
