Hmm ... do you have a 32-bit perl installed?  I'm not sure it's really
possible to install both at once, actually, since there can be only one
/usr/bin/perl.  It might be that your best bet is to set up a 32-bit
buildroot using mock.  I just did that for the first time the other day
and it was a lot less painful than I expected ...

OTOH, if you don't actually need plperl for your test, it may not be
worth troubling with.  If you've got a 32-bit executable and it doesn't
crash when used, that should be good enough for experimental purposes.

            regards, tom lane
