This will only work if you build a 32-bit perl and use it to do the
packaging *unless* you have only pure-perl (no compiled modules)
bundled into it.
There does seem to be a bug in pp's -P handling (it also appears to
ignore -X and -n). But in any non-trivial program, you're going to
need to build 32-bit versions. If you're counting on the client having
perl and all of the requisite compiled modules, why bundle?
