Oops, just included this in a private message I sent to Chris: | Now that I'm typing this, I have one other idea though: if the module | links against a different runtime library than perl58.dll, then the | module will set errno inside the other runtime library and the value | of $! is unchanged inside Perl. One thing you could do to guard | against this is to set $! to 0 at the Perl level before calling | constant().
