Hello from France.
I actually use ExifTool using shell scripts commands embedded in FileMaker Pro (13 to 16) scripts on MacOS (10.7 to 10.13)
Is there any information usable in activity monitor to see if ExifTool binary runs on 32 or 64 bits mode.
Thanks for any information about 64 bits compatibility.
Best regards, ekami.

The ExifTool .exe binary is 32 bit, but you can run in 64-bit mode if you load a 64-bit Perl and use the Perl version of ExifTool.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Thanks Phil.
I only use the binary installed with the .pkg on MacOS
So i suppose that the perl library of MacOS is 64 bits, as the rest of the system.

Yes.  On MacOS you are running in 64 bit already.  There is no binary MacOS version -- it is all Perl.
