+=item Notes on 64-bit Windows
+
+Windows .NET Server supports the LLP64 data model on the Intel Itanium
+architecture.
+
+The LLP64 data model is different from the LP64 data model that is the
+norm on 64-bit Unix platforms. In the former, C<int> and C<long> are
+both 32-bit data types, while pointers are 64 bits wide. In addition,
+there is a separate 64-bit wide integral type, C<__int64>. In contrast,
+the LP64 data model that is pervasive on Unix platforms provides C<int>
+as the 32-bit type, while both the C<long> type and pointers are of
+64-bit precision. Note that both models provide for 64-bits of
+addressability.
+
+64-bit Windows running on Itanium is capable of running 32-bit x86
+binaries transparently. This means that you could use a 32-bit build
+of Perl on a 64-bit system. Given this, why would one want to build
+a 64-bit build of Perl? Here are some reasons why you would bother:

+
+A 64-bit native application will run much more efficiently on
+Itanium hardware.
+
+=item *
+
+There is no 2GB limit on process size.
+
+=item *
+
+Perl automatically provides large file support when built under
+64-bit Windows.

+Embedding Perl inside a 64-bit application.
