PL/Perl 64-bit and sending emails

Hello!

I've been running the 64-bit version of 8.3.4 on OpenSolaris 2009.06
for over a year.  Now, I need to put a perl function call into it to
allow emails to be sent by the database backend.  I tried installing
plperl, but it looks like only a 32-bit version is available.  Does
the 64-bit version of plperl exist?  Or, does someone know of another
way to get the backend to send an email?

Thanks!
Mark
