Almost every perl module I think is noarch, so there are tons of
examples to look at.

perl-File-Mork is one of mine:
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=perl-File-Mork&project=devel%3Alanguages%3Aperl

I think you will find perl modules generally have:

BuildArch:      noarch

in the specfile, but they are set to build for both i586 and x86_64.

The buildservice builds both, but then only publishes one of the
packages at the end of the process.  Thus, that is the standard
process.

It obviously wastes cpu cycles building it twice.  If you want to
change that make a proposal, but realize it is a change.
