I am downloading perl packages using cpan command , its taking default
compiler cc as 32 bit /32 bit c libs for compiling c modules while installing

Compiling through the CPAN module will use the same same compiler
and options which were used to compiler the perl binary itself. Ie, if
your perl binary is 32bit CPAN modules must also be 32bit.
perl -V will tell you more details about how the perl binary was compiled.
i would like to know how should i change the compiler options to 64 bit and
any optmization i would like to do by changing the compiler flags .
Set the CC and CFLAGS environment variables. Eg in Bash:
export CC=gcc
export CFLAGS="-O0 -g"
and you can typically override Makefile values. But be careful before you
change the defaults.
Should i look any perl related config files to change the compiler or flags
befoe doing installation
There are ample CPAN tutorials and walk throughs online which will be useful.
