Funny, I emailed Tim about this very issue (along with a couple other things,
but this thread got me thinking about this).

We may just have to detect the existence of lib32 and then prompt for which one
to use, unless someone @perl5-porters knows a better way of divining it from the
Perl configuration.  At least the prompt would negate the need for a manual edit
(unless they choose wrong, but that's not our problem :)

As another option, could we compile and link a small test program, ala GNU
configure?
