The awnser is a little more complicated than yes or no... - Does your compiler support dual core? (the awnser on most modren systems woudl be yes) - Does the code you are compiling utilize more than one core? (the usual awnser is who knows unless you start going over the code it will be a guessing game) - HT (Hyper Treading) is nothing more than a technique to execute some treads on one and other treads on the other core. So unless you are using treads in your perl code or very heavily relying on compiled code that uses treads this is of little real use.
So Perl it self couldn't care less about if you are using a single core or a multi core machine. It is the code that you write and the modules that you use that are the possible issues. So if you are in need of more power try to make as much process as posible run in paralel using threads (or fork of course), then for that extra bit of mussle you could try and tackle the libs that perl you are using, rework and recompile, though that is not very advisable as this will force you to check and do this everytime these libs are updated.
