I do not have the possibility to use 64 BIT perl.
I am using aix 4.3.3 and I cant tell you it is no fun building a perl there.
well that seems to be the 'issue', if your perl -V says that the perl was built without 64bit int support, then it was build in a 32bit int default format, which is your core problem.
so you will need to get whom ever IS responsible for building the perl to do the right thing.
BTW: Does anyone knows anything about perl typecasting?
Well actually Perl opposes it, and believes that all actors should be allowed to work up to their potential without the repression of the Evil Studio System...
Or did you mean the more traditional idea of casting from a pointer of one type to a pointer of another type - yes, you can do things like that but you will need to clear up which types you are trying to get into and out of...
