Subject:   Does 'perl -v' show correct output on non-amd64 FreeBSD?
Message-ID:  <dd24aae0-401f-8d56-f643-d4ec15b88bb1@pobox.com>

In the Perl core distribution, a bug ticket has been filed asserting 
that the commands 'perl -v' and 'perl -V' misdetect architecture on 
FreeBSD, at least on non-amd64 platforms such as powerpc, riscv and arm. 
  The ticket is here:

https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/19791

A pull request has been filed to correct this problem here:

https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/19843

If there is any reader of this list -- particularly someone with access 
to FreeBSD on non-amd64 platforms -- who would care to comment on either 
the issue or the pull request, please do so.  (The p.r. looks fine to 
me, but I'm only familiar with FreeBSD on amd64.)

Thank you very much.
Jim Keenan
