That is a 64-bit Perl. The important %Config value to look at is ptrsize. If it is set to 8, then you have a full 64-bit Perl. If the ivtype is set to a type that is 8 bytes, but ptrsize is 4, then you have a 32-bit Perl with 64-bit integers (which from the OS point of view is a 32-bit process). Cheers, -Jan
