BeOS was discontinued before the amd64 architecture was even invented, and its modern descendant(OpenBeOS/Haiku) will remain remain binary-compatible with it. So yes, a bit of a dead end.
It's possible to run a 32-bit OS on a 64-bit computer, of course. x86smp support suggests it'll even use multiple cores while doing so.

PERLHAIKU(1) Perl Programmers Reference Guide PERLHAIKU(1)
NAME
perlhaiku - Perl version 5.10+ on Haiku
DESCRIPTION
This file contains instructions how to build Perl for Haiku and lists known problems.
BUILD AND INSTALL
The build procedure is completely standard:
./Configure -de
make
make install
Make perl executable and create a symlink for libperl:
chmod a+x /boot/common/bin/perl
cd /boot/common/lib; ln -s perl5/5.16.3/BePC-haiku/CORE/libperl.so .
Replace 5.16.3 with your respective version of Perl.
KNOWN PROBLEMS
The following problems are encountered with Haiku revision 28311:
o Perl cannot be compiled with threading support ATM.
o The ext/Socket/t/socketpair.t test fails. More precisely: the subtests using datagram sockets fail. Unix datagram sockets aren't
implemented in Haiku yet.
o A subtest of the ext/Sys/Syslog/t/syslog.t test fails. This is due to Haiku not implementing "/dev/log" support yet.
o The tests lib/Net/Ping/t/450_service.t and lib/Net/Ping/t/510_ping_udp.t fail. This is due to bugs in Haiku's network stack
implementation.
CONTACT
For Haiku specific problems contact the HaikuPorts developers: http://ports.haiku-files.org/ <http://ports.haiku-files.org/>
The initial Haiku port was done by Ingo Weinhold <ingo_weinhold@gmx.de>.
