I looked a bit at the %Config hash, and found

    config_arg11: -Darchname=x86_64-linux-gnu

which comes from

    config_args: … -Darchname=x86_64-linux-gnu …

but I have no idea about how to extract this value in a sane way.


I also note that the documentation for Config (3perl) says:

    "archname"
        From archname.U:
    
        This variable is a short name to characterize the current
        architecture. It is used mainly to construct the default
        archlib.

but then:

    archlib: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl/5.34


I hope that Niko and Dom have more ideas :)


Cheers,
gregor
