Unfortunately, those modules are written with a Unix paradigm in mind, not a Windows one. And, even more unfortunately for you, doing a super-search for "Win32" yields a node called "Win32", which doesn't do what I wanted.

The best thing to do would be to study the Win32:: module library. There is a book Learning Perl on Win32 which, while very basic, will give you a lot of insight in the Perl + Win32 mindset. I read it and it has a lot of good module stuf. I suggest picking it up.
