Thanks. For now I installed the previous version of the Cygwin

the non-core Win32 routines that were previously available without
having to install the Win32 module yourself.
Oops, I seem to have forgot my promise to add Win32.pm to CORE,
when Jan removed it from libwin32.
perl-libwin32-0.26 has it. perl-libwin32-0.27 not anymore.
perl-5.8.8 needs another update, sorry.
Our quality process is really bad.
I'm happy to beta test any changes.

Hi John,
Sorry for the slow response; I was extremely busy the whole last week
and didn’t reply to most non-work email.
I have CC’ed this message to Reini, who is the Cygwin maintainer for the
Perl packages and might have a better idea what is going on.
From my point of view it looks like this: The perl-libwin32 package was
updated to version 0.27, which no longer contains the Win32 module, but
there is no separate perl-win32 package.
I’m somewhat surprised that this hasn’t come up earlier. The best way
forward from my point of view would be to build a new
perl-libwin32-0.27-2 package that includes Win32. This will then need
to be removed again once Cygwin updates to Perl 5.8.9 or 5.10.
Cheers,
-Jan

*Subject:* Win32Core module question
Jan,
You're listed at the owner of the CPAN Perl module Win32, so I'm
hoping you can answer a Cygwin-related question about it.
I'm working on updating a release of Cygwin we use internally at
NVIDIA. I've written a Perl script to auto-configure Cygwin after
installation that uses these non-core Win32 module functions:
Win32::IsAdminUser()
Win32::LookupAccountName()
In our current version of Cygwin (1.5.21-2) one gains access to these
functions with:
use Win32;
However, in the latest version of Cygwin (1.5.24-2), the Win32.pm
module does not exist. The Win32 CORE functions can now be accessed
directly without loading the module, but the non-core functions don't
appear to exist anywhere. I grepped the entire Perl install for the
routines that they don't show up. I installed the complete Cygwin
1.5.24-2 package list and they still don't appear. How does one access
them? I can't install Win32 from CPAN on the fly because the system
may not have network access when it is configured by my script. Does my
script have to include it's own local copy of the Win32 module?
Thanks,
John
