Project description:
A useful bundle of Win32 Perl extensions.

The changes in the upstream release are as follows:
0.28  14 September 2007

    + Win32API::Registry and Win32::TieRegistry modules have been
      removed; they are maintained independently on CPAN.

      CPAN shell will install all the modules that used to be part of
      libwin32 (currently Win32API::File, Win32API::Registry and
      Win32::TieRegistry in addition to libwin32 itself).

Included modules (no changes):
Win32API::File, Win32API::Net, Win32API::Registry,
Win32::ChangeNotify, Win32::Clipboard, Win32::Console, Win32::Event,
Win32::EventLog, Win32::File, Win32::FileSecurity,
Win32::IPC, Win32::Internet, Win32::Job, Win32::Mutex, Win32::NetAdmin,
Win32::NetResource, Win32::ODBC, Win32::OLE, Win32::PerfLib,
Win32::Pipe, Win32::Process, Win32::Registry, Win32::Semaphore,
Win32::Service, Win32::Shortcut, Win32::Sound, Win32::TieRegistry and
Win32::WinError.
