(Win32CORE is the means by which Win32 is loaded on-demand for certain Win32::* Perl level functions for which a "use Win32;" is not required. In this particular case, where Win32 itself is also statically linked, it should not be necessary, but I've left it the same as for the dynamic link case at the moment. I may revisit it to tidy it up later, but Jan has already pointed out that it's hardly worth the bother since the slight inefficiency involved is only on the first such Perl function call and avoiding that may not justify the extra code complication required.)Thread Previous | Thread Next
