Win32 - Interfaces to some Win32 API Functions This module contains interfaces to some Win32 API functions, grouped together purely for historical reasons. Most of the functions were copied from the "Perl for Win32" version of Perl 5.003_07 from ActiveWare, but moved out of the core into a module to try to stop bloating the core Perl library. The Win32 module is part of core Perl starting with Perl 5.8.4. It is being maintained by Jan Dubois . Starting with Win32 version 0.27 it also contains all the remaining Win32::* function that are statically built into the core to make them upgradeable via CPAN too (except for Win32::SetChildShowWindows(), which is tightly coupled with the core implementation).
