-    <para os="p">This multilib wrapper makes it possible to build perl
-    extensions other then 64-bit. The PERL_ARCH environment variable controls
-    which perl binary to execute. Some packages that may attempt to build
-    against perl will run <command>perl -V:cc</command> to get the command
-    that was used to build perl. If you're building a 32-bit extension but you
-    only have a 64-bit perl this is not desired. By setting PERL_ARCH=32 you
-    will be able to build the 32-bit extension because
-    <command>perl -V:cc</command> will return the command used to build the
-    32-bit perl installation.</para>
+    <para os="p">The value of the <envar>USE_ARCH</envar> enviornment variable
+    will decide which perl binary to execute.
+    <command>USE_ARCH=32 perl -V:cc</command> will give the value of CC used to
+    build the 32bit perl. The multiarch_wrapper will help later with building
+    perl extensions and bindings. Without the multiarch_wrapper it is very hard
+    to setup a 32bit extenstion or binding.</para>
