win version 0.01 ================ The goal of win, the Perl Win32 programming tool, is to make Perl Win32 programming simpler, quicker, and less of a hassle. The win tool seeks to achieve its goal by: 1. Addressing the integration of Win32 modules. 2. Addressing Win32 idiosyncrasies. You can call other Win32 modules via win and if your system doesn't have the module, win is polite enough to download and install the module for you (using PPM). By default, win also enables a handful of basic and useful Win32 modules, specifically Win32, Win32::Autoglob, and Win32::Die. You can think of win as a broom that sweeps the idiosyncrasies of Windows under the rug. It is good to know what those idiosyncrasies are, but sometimes you don't want to deal with them. If that's ever the case, then win is for you. INSTALLATION It's all pure Perl, so just put the .pm file in its appropriate local Perl subdirectory.
