I recently bought a new Intel Xeon server, and when I put it together, I 
didn't realize that the newer Xeon's were 64bit ... now, I've just built 
perl 5.8.7, and its reporting:

=================
# perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.7 built for i386-freebsd-64int
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

==================

I realize that this  may be a stupid question, but am I correct in that 
*this* is a 64bit machine, and I should be enabling the AMD64 stuff on 
her?

Thanks ...
