Hmm, this ugly error message looks a bit misleading, it really should
look like this:
| Win32 version 0.27 required--this is only version 0.26 at c:\perl\lib/File/Copy.pm line 273.
I normally try to stay out of the version number silliness, but this
does look like a step backwards to me. I have no idea if this can (or
should) be fixed in bleadperl or not (Perl 5.8 does give the correct
error message).

Yes, and the forwarder() function (now in ext/Win32CORE/Win32CORE.c requires
Win32 version 0.27 or later:
static void
forward(pTHX_ const char *function)
{
dXSARGS;
Perl_load_module(aTHX_ PERL_LOADMOD_NOIMPORT, newSVpvn("Win32",5), newSVnv(0.27));
SPAGAIN;
PUSHMARK(SP-items);
call_pv(function, GIMME_V);
}
Therefore you will not be able to use old versions of the Win32 module
with bleadperl anymore.

I'll try to get some time to do this early March (next week). I thought
there is no urgency in releasing Win32 0.27 separately as the latest
version is already in the core, but I didn't realize that you also
cannot install libwin32 anymore on blead.
