in reply to using 32 bit shared library in 64 bit perl

Not really. You pretty much have to use 32-bit libraries with 32-bit Perl and 64-bit libraries with 64-bit Perl. However...

If you are working with a packaged application that has both sets of libraries available for download, you can, with a bit of effort, set it up so that whatever is using the 32-bit libraries can do so, while your 64-bit Perl uses its own 64-bit libraries to access the same application. Have a look at what I did to install DBD::MySQL on Solaris.
