When any of these functions are -called, the full Win32 module is loaded automatically. It is preferred -that callers of these functions explicitly C<use Win32;>. - -=head1 HISTORY - -Win32CORE was created to provide on cygwin those Win32:: functions that -for regular win32 builds were provided by default in perl. In cygwin -perl releases prior to 5.8.6, this module was standalone and had to -be explicitly used. In 5.8.6 and later, it was statically linked into -cygwin perl so this would no longer be necessary. - -As of perl 5.9.5/Win32 0.27, these functions have been moved into -the Win32 module. Win32CORE provides stubs for each of the former -CORE Win32:: functions that internally just load the Win32 module and -call it's version, and Win32CORE is statically linked to perl for both -cygwin and regular win32 builds. This will permit these functions to -be updated in the CPAN Win32 module independently of updating perl. - -=cut |
