Here is a few examples of the same expression in strawberry perl 5.38.2 and in the gfortran packaged with it. I believe the fortran.

use strict;
use warnings;
use integer;
use feature 'say';

my $base = 3;
my $power = 33;
my $result = $base ** $power;
printf "%d\n", $result;
$power = 38;
$result = $base ** $power;
printf "%d\n", $result

program fort
      integer*8 base, power
      integer*8 result
      base = 3
      power = 33 
      result = base ** power +1;
      print *, result
      power = 38 
      result = base ** power +1;
      print *, result
end program
