I have a user who wants a version of Perl built with -Duse64bitint that is accessable as perl64.

So, before I really screw up my system, I thought I would ask if anyone here has any particular advice. Help?
As long as you build it as a binary package rpm will prevent you from causing problems. It won't tell you how to rename the binary from perl to perl64 though.
