Apart from that, this has two deficiencies in my view:

(i) our 64-bit perl installs in /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib64,
as do all subsequent modules (tested with XML-Parser, which finds libexpat from /usr/lib64, but installs its own (64-bit) Expat.so under /usr/lib/perl5.

(ii) the defines for privlib, sitelib, vendorlib, archlib do not affect what, or where, perl itself installs and therefore I regard them as unnecessary additions.

I agree that a 64-bit perl seems to be adequate on multilib (I'm sure somebody will find an exotic 32-bit chroot example that needs a 32-bit perl, but for normal use I'm happy unless anybody responds to my earlier post on -chat).

OK, using Ryan's patch from last week plus the installstyle echo, with only a 64-bit perl, everything is in /usr/lib64/perl5 and XML-Parser installs into /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl. Looks good, apart from the libc=/lib/ issue in 'perl -V'.

 In all cases, the perl and XML-Parser testsuites completed ok.
