Changes for version 0.191 - 2002-07-08

  • Win32::Job is now available (thanks to Neil Watkiss). This extension allows you to manipulate "job" objects (which are groups of processes) in Windows 2000 or later. See the pod documentation for details.
  • Most modules that autoloaded their constants could reset $! during autoloading. Such locations now localize $! before potentially modifying it.
  • EventLog has been upgraded to 0.073 (thanks to Brett Williams). EventLog/Changes has a list of bug fixes.
  • NetResource has been upgraded to 0.053. See NetResource/Changes for the change log.
  • A Win32::GetOSName() function is now available. It is documented in the Win32.pod distributed with perl 5.8.0-RC2 and with ActivePerl.
  • Some issues with building it under 5.8.0-RC2 have been fixed.
  • This release corresponds to the version of libwin32 included in ActivePerl 5.6.1.633.
