[e0e40d3]24 <para os="m1">In multilib builds we install compilers and libraries for each available
[3f8be484]25 architecture. The description below says that perl installs several hundred
26 libraries, but they are used by invoking <command>perl</command>, not by linking
27 to them with <command>ld</command>. Although it is possible to install perl for
28 32 bits, move it to a different name, and then install the 64-bit version, it is
29 almost always invoked as just <command>perl</command>. That means only the
30 libraries and modules for the last version installed will be accessible. We
[566db8e]31 therefore only install one version.</para>
[3f8be484]32
[521c55b]33 <para os="p3">Perl does not, by default, know about library directories with names other
[3f8be484]34 than lib, such as lib64. The following patch will allow it to install to lib64.</para>

[521c55b]38 <para os="p5">There is a further (possibly cosmetic) anomaly - if we install perl and
[3f8be484]39 then run <command>perl -V</command> it will claim that libc is in /lib. The
40 following patch fixes this, but only takes effect when <command>make install
41 </command> is run.</para>
