Perl 5.3.8.0 32 bit version #42

Closed talhamasood1 closed 10 months ago

talhamasood1 commented 10 months ago

I am looking for some information, my question is, are there any plans to release the Perl 5.38.0 32bit version? In the release list, I only see 64 bit Perl 5.3.8.0 but we need to test our software against the 32 bit version too. Looking forward to hear from Perl community.

Thanks, Talha

This is likely the wrong place to open a ticket.

You also don't state, what OS / distribution you are interested in. Usually, your distribution maintainer / OS vendor compiles Perl versions for you. On a 32-bit OS, I would expect a 32-bit Perl to be available.

We are looking for Windows, when I see the strawberry Perl release list here https://strawberryperl.com/releases.html I don't see the 32 bit version. In our current product, we are using Perl 5.26.1. There are multiple components in our product that uses and Perl modules but due to security vulnerabilities in Perl 5.26.1, we have planned to upgrade the perl version to latest i.e Perl 5.38.0.1. Unfortunately, there is no 32 bit version of 5.38.0.1 so we can't move forward with the Perl upgrade. We are stuck. I hope you understand our situation now. If this is not the right forum, kindly guide me to the right forum where I will find some help.
