I can see it both ways.
I don't think so, as they are not really pre-requisites. libwin32 should work just fine with an older Win32 module, and doesn't reference Win32API::File internally at all. Maybe I should release a Bundle::libwin32 module that continues to bundle all the parts that have historically been part of libwin32? I intend to release *all* modules that are currently only available through libwin32 as individual distributions too, so that people can install them separately. More importantly, it allows me to work on releasing updates one module at a time; I never seem to find time to update all modules in libwin32 together and make another release. The first 2 modules I want to release separately are Win32::OLE (because I already have an updated version that I'm using myself) and Win32::Job because Steve Hay wants to use it for core Perl tests, and it requires some updates to support break-away processes to create jobs from inside another job.
