A stupid 64bit question ... but ...

David O'Brien, and lo! it spake thus:

It's not, it's just reporting 64-bit ints.

[5:30:51] mortis:/tmp
(ttyp2):{1358}% dmesg | grep ^CPU
CPU: Pentium Pro (198.67-MHz 686-class CPU)
[5:30:55] mortis:/tmp
(ttyp2):{1359}% perl -v

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