I had the same problem. I thought I had everything in 64-bit, however in my case I found that I had an environment variable set: VERSIONER_PERL_PREFER_32_BIT=yes.

Unsetting this variable made Perl run in 64-bit. Root did not use this environment variable, which explains why it worked running with sudo.
