Trying to get a straight answer to the question 'What is the largest integer Perl can handle on Win32?' and failing, I decided to ask Perl, eventually ending up with the questions
perl -e "print 2**49+1"
perl -e "print -2**49-1"
and getting precise answers.
So on my 32-bit Windows the answer is "more than 2^49 and less than 2^50".
