Re: Does 'perl -v' show correct output on non-amd64 FreeBSD?

Hi,

I am not exactly sure what the problem is, but it seems ok to me:

For arm :

[~]$ perl -v
This is perl 5, version 32, subversion 1 (v5.32.1) built for arm64-freebsd-thread-multi


For powerpc :

[~]$ perl -v
This is perl 5, version 32, subversion 1 (v5.32.1) built for powerpc-freebsd-thread-multi


I haven't found a riscv one, but it feels like it is going to be ok too.
