Same things happens on my x86_64 system:

 Bus 001 Device 007: ID 04f9:0039 Brother Industries, Ltd HL-5340 series

 perl getusbprinterid.pl /dev/bus/usb/001/007
 Died at /home/pizza/getusbprinterid.pl line 12.

And the CUPS USB backend finds it just fine:

  /usr/lib/cups/backend/usb
  direct usb://Brother/HL-5340D%20series?serial=M9J473381 "Brother HL-5340D series" "Brother HL-5340D series" "MFG:Brother;CMD:PJL,PCL,PCLXL;MDL:HL-5340D series;CLS:PRINTER;" ""

Come to think of it, any reason you can't just invoke the CUPS USB backend to get the IEEE1284 ID?
