Without Math::BigInt->new() (I added several print statements):
$ perl t/06bigint.t
1..35
[...]
$num is now: -2.8147497671066e+14
#32: expecting hex:0207ff000000000000
#32: got hex:0207fefffffffffffc
#line 93 t/06bigint.t
not ok 32
ok 33
ok 34
#35: expecting -2.8147497671066e+14
#35: got -281474976710656
#line 96 t/06bigint.t
not ok 35
If I change it back:
$num is now: -281474976710660
#32: expecting hex:0207ff000000000000
#32: got hex:0207fefffffffffffc
#line 90 t/06bigint.t
not ok 32
ok 33
ok 34
#35: expecting -281474976710660
#35: got -281474976710656
#line 93 t/06bigint.t
not ok 35

That is not correct, cygwin perl returns the same as Activestate:
#35: got -281474976710656
with or without Math::BigInt->new().
> perl -MDev::Bollocks -e'print Dev::Bollocks->rand(),"\n"'
cnt: 5 for 1 sum: 1
cnt: 5 for 2 sum: 1
cnt: 5 for 3 sum: 2509
cnt: 5 for 4 sum: 205657
return 4
