Release focus:
* Make it work under current perl-5.8.6
Project description:
A collection of Win32 Perl extensions, collected by ActiveState when
had the patch pumpkin (around 2002), but never maintained it since
then, until recently.
Included modules: Win32API::File, Win32API::Net, Win32API::Registry,
Win32::ChangeNotify, Win32::Clipboard, Win32::Console, Win32::Event,
Win32::EventLog, Win32::File, Win32::FileSecurity,
Win32::IPC, Win32::Internet, Win32::Job, Win32::Mutex, Win32::NetAdmin,
Win32::NetResource, Win32::ODBC, Win32::OLE, Win32::PerfLib,
Win32::Pipe, Win32::Process, Win32::Registry, Win32::Semaphore,
Win32::Service, Win32::Shortcut, Win32::Sound, Win32::TieRegistry and
Win32::WinError.
Note: On CPAN there is a newer libwin32-0.24 release which has less
patches and cygwin enhancements than this package.
It merely collided with the overlong review period of
perl-libwin32-0.191-4. Of course an update for libwin32-0.24 is in the
works, but this time with official sanctus upstream. Discussion happens
in the fresh libwin32 AT perl DOT org list. The old ActiveState list dead.
