As the AM has already indicated, the fault lies with the shell, or what Windoze chooses to call it.
<p>
The 'shell' ignores, or appears not to recognise, single quotes - try enclosing your CLI command in double quotes ...
<c>
perl -Mbignum -le "print 2**255;"
</c>
As I haven't had a Windoze box for quite a while, I can't actually demonstrate this.
