Perl the interpreter won't necessarily, but it appears libperl.so did work as 
multilib, or at least it let deps resolve and nobody has noticed that it 
didn't work.

I don't have a ton of faith in things correctly going from multilib to 
non-multilib and having the obsoletes do the right thing.  Given we're at 
test4, I'm going for the least intrusive change, which is to make perl.
[i386,ppc64] show up in the i386/ppc repos.
