In this particular instance, is removing perl.i386 the right thing to do? Are there any common situations where it would be used on an x86_64 system?
Removing perl.i386 is the way to go here. I don't personally know of any situations where perl.i386 might have been required. Most people who are building perl modules should be linking with and against the perl.x86_64 anyway ( even when doing builds against native libraries ).
There are some vendors who still hand out binaries that need perl.i386; but in those cases, perl.i386 can be installed by name.
