 It should not be a problem to build a perl module for x86_64 only if perl
 itself was built for x86_64 and i386. This works fine for a whole lot of
 other software; I don't see why perl should be different.

 -e whatever" should continue to return what it does now, but minus the
 -arch flags which it should not return for the reasons explained in the
 wiki page I linked to above. It's not particularly efficient to expect
 every perl module to patch this when the correct place to patch it is at
 the source -- perl itself. The only file in perl5.8 that I found that
 contains -arch flags is Config_heavy.pl, so I'm just proposing we
 [attachment:perl5.8-arch.diff remove the -arch flags] from that.


 For documentation, see 'perldoc perlembed', in particular the section
 under "Compiling your C program".

 Have you tried building perl w/ the proposed change(s) and then building
 something to use the embedded features, for example 'ImageMagick +perl' to
 ensure it still works?  This should be tested w/ perl5.10 and perl5.12 as
 well.

 What other modules and/or ports would require this change?
