Can you identify which one of these packages individually is requiring
the 32-bit perl?  In other words, can you install perl-LDAP without it
wanting to pull in the 32-bit perl?  Same for all of them...

You can also do an rpm -q -R -p <rpm> on the .rpm file to see what it
requires, but I'm not sure if that will tell us anything particularly
useful.

Have you tried the rpmforge IRC channel?
