how to test for architecture in perl base pre/postinst scripts ?

[Sven Luther <sven.luther@wanadoo.fr>]

Hello,

I am searching to test for architecture in perl written pre/post inst
scripts. I am not perl fluetn though, and i don't know what is the
correct way of querying for architecture in those scripts. Sure i could
parse the uname output or something such, but maybe there is already a
prefered way of doing this ?

Thanks for your help.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
