Hi Bob,

thanks for filing a ticket.
I looked at the code again, and the callback part was indeed disabled 
on purpose on 64 bit builds because it's currently not working, so the 
tests would fail.

This is the relevant part of Makefile.PL:


    'PM' => {
        ...
        $is_64bit_build
            ? ()
            : ('Callback.pm' => '$(INST_LIBDIR)/API/Callback.pm'),
    },

If you change it to:

    'PM' => {
        ...
        'Callback.pm' => '$(INST_LIBDIR)/API/Callback.pm',
    },

then the Callback part will be enabled.
