Math::Random::MT::Auto can return 64-bit random integers (on 64-bit Perls). The randbits value of 48 reflects the fact that the floating-point values returned by rand() can have at most 48 significant bits (the other bits being used for the sign and exponent).

Remember: There's always one more bug.
