Correct. It's set up to handle only 32-bit builds of freeglut. (This will be 
fixed in the future.)

I just tried installing OpenGL on ActivePerl build 1005, and it downloaded 
0.57 instead of 0.60.
I'll try again in a day or so and let you know if there's any problem. (I'll 
check the perl-5.8 build too.)
