Odd.
I first tried the original version when first posted:
perl -wle'print for Win32::GetOSVersion'
which did nothing. It now works, giving :
Service Pack 4
5
0
2195
2

but when I try
perl -mWin32 -wle'print for Win32::GetOSVersion'
I get 
Can't locate Win32.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/cygwin ...
etc.
