Yeah, it returning amd64_ubuntu1804 is definitely a bug. I didn't have tim=
e to more than glance at it today. I'll try to get it fixed tomorrow, but =
later this week is more likley.

I don't see any similar script for building and installing whatever perl l=
ibraries we need; currently ./configure fails with configure: error: cannot=

release recall the process for setting up perl for barnowl on a new arch?
