Abstract: In this paper we prove the equivalence between the existence of perfectly normal, non-metrizable, non-archimedean spaces and the existence of ``generalized Souslin lines", i.e., linearly ordered spaces in which every collection of disjoint open intervals is $\sigma$-discrete, but which do not have a $\sigma$-discrete dense set. The key ingredient is the observation that every first countable linearly ordered space has a dense non-archimedean subspace.
