This is very definitely a bug, probably in the perl package and not in
some tool used to build it. Please file it now.

The architecture of your platform is the one returned by

	dpkg --print-architecture

If this is not sufficiently documented in the DPKG Programmer's Manual
or the Debian Policy Manual, we need to add text.
