use happens at compile-time.  There really should be some error raised
when Perl finds 'use' in a conditional block...

  BEGIN {
    if ($^O =~ /^(ms)?(win|dos)(32|nt)?$/i) {
      eval q{
        use lib "N:/njancesk/perllib";
        use Win32::Process;
        use Win32::Event 1.00 qw(wait_any);
      };
    }
    else {
      eval q{
        use lib "/u/njancesk/perllib";
      }
    }
  }
