Well, for me it just printed "Win32::GetOSVersion"...

Hmm, must be a 5.8.2 vs. 5.8.6 thing.  Time to upgrade?.. :-)

FWIW, Win32.pm from the latest perl-libwin32 in
/usr/lib/perl/site_perl/5.8.2/cygwin-thread-multi-64int/Win32.pm, and
since your @INC contains /usr/lib/perl5/5.8/..., it's not found.
Doesn't perl-libwin32 need to be updated?
