Doing this with a 32-bit only Perl is a tad more complex, but works. You break the 64-bit number into 2 32-bit values and then multiply them out. You do have to pay attention to endianess though.
#! perl -slw
use strict;
use constant {
MSEpoch_2_UnixEpoch => 116444736000000000,
};
my $in = '0x50c2b17c7c04c9014c69ac817f04c90176b7ed3581f7ca01ee1183dede
+a3c901';
my @hexTimes = unpack 'xx(A16)4', $in;
my @binTimes = map{
my( $lo, $hi ) = unpack 'VV', pack 'H8H8', unpack 'A8A8', $_;
$hi * 2**32 + $lo
} @hexTimes;
my @unixTimes = map{ ( $_ - MSEpoch_2_UnixEpoch ) /1e7 } @binTimes;
print scalar localtime( $_ ) for @unixTimes;

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
