in reply to installing Strawberry Perl 64 bit

After install, you can check to see if 64-bit is supported:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Config;

my $Config;

if ($Config{use64bitint}) {
    print "Supports 64-bit numbers\n";
}
else {
    print "Does not support 64-bit numbers\n"
}

    If you're interested in addressing large amounts of memory it is probably more appropriate to look at $Config{use64bitall} than $Config{use64bitint}.
