I asked myself that same question, and when I reviewed my notes on the
install I had some packages that would only work with perl.i386 which
required me to install it. Unfortunately, I did not document what those
packages were, and can not remember which ones required .i386 to test
them. 5.0 through 5.3 allowed the install of both perls, but 5.4 does
not.
