in reply to File::HomeDir methods my_dist_data and my_dist_config do nothing on Win32

Works fine for me.

perl -MFile::HomeDir -E"say File::HomeDir->my_data"
C:\berrybrew\5.28.0_64_PDL\data

Note that on Windows it calls the method from File::HomeDir::Windows: https://metacpan.org/source/REHSACK/File-HomeDir-1.006/lib%2FFile%2FHomeDir%2FWindows.pm#L105. This would be something to look into.

Platform specific methods are set up at https://metacpan.org/source/REHSACK/File-HomeDir-1.006/lib%2FFile%2FHomeDir.pm#L57.

Have you modified its $IMPLEMENTED_BY variable to change the methods called?
