Seems like your software is broken (or compiled with a broken perl
configuration).

I don't think anything would break. But you should rather fix your
software.

Because perl uses its own architecture directory:
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux-thread-multi
It makes no sense to me to complicate things even more by moving
part of perl's directory structure from /usr/lib to /usr/lib64.
