String::CRC::Cksum module for 64-bit Perl

When I used the following command to install String::CRC::Cksum on my 64-bit Ubuntu,

perl -MCPAN -e "install String::CRC::Cksum"

the following error message is shown and perl rejected to install it:

Use of uninitialized value in bitwise xor (^) at at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/String/CRC/Cksum.pm line 73.

I managed to google the solution but in vain. Finally, I realized the problem is caused by 64-bit integer on my 64-bit Ubuntu.

To fix this problem, force to install String::CRC::Cksum module first:

$ sudo cpan
Terminal does not support AddHistory.

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.9205)
ReadLine support available (maybe install Bundle::CPAN or Bundle::CPANxxl?)

cpan[1]> force install String::CRC::Cksum

and then patch it (/usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/String/CRC/Cksum.pm, "chmod" first! it's read-only):
