Win32 - Interfaces to some Win32 API Functions
The Win32 module contains functions to access Win32 APIs.
It is recommended to use Win32; before any of these functions; however, for backwards compatibility, those marked as [CORE] will automatically do this for you.
In the function descriptions below the term Unicode string is used to indicate that the string may contain characters outside the system codepage. The caveat If supported by the core Perl version generally means Perl 5.8.9 and later, though some Unicode pathname functionality may work on earlier versions.
