You still have problems because you didn't exclude the inc/ subdirectory
in your distribution from the CPAN indexer, which now marks this as an
unauthorized release:
http://search.cpan.org/~cosimo/Win32-API-0.53/
The "unauthorized" status also hides this release from e.g. the CPAN.pm
shell, and I think the module list updates. This can be fixed by excluding
this directory in the META.yml file.
However, I think using Devel::AssertOS is really overkill for this purpose.
I just use the following code in most Win32::* modules:
unless ($^O eq "MSWin32" || $^O eq "cygwin") {
die "OS unsupported\n";
}
I'm not sure why using a module would be better for this simple use case.
