Yep. Among machines already in the buildfarm, the one running member
woodlouse is the best candidate for this. Its owner could install
http://strawberryperl.com/download/5.26.1.1/strawberry-perl-5.26.1.1-32bit.msi
and setup another animal on the same machine that builds 32-bit and enables
Perl. Christian, are you interested in doing this?
