Something I've been asked about, and was wondering myself, since I
don't have a 64 bit machine to play with - would a ppm package:
http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/XML-LibXML
built on a 32 bit machine work on a 64 bit machine (in principle)? For
XML::LibXML, this would mean the external libxml2 library, as well as
the perl glue, that goes into making the ppm package would have to be
compatible.
