I'm replying to myself as I indicated I would, now that I've tested the modified test file in the Win32::Netsh package on a different version of Windows. It took several sessions of reacquainting myself with the Perl installations on a 11-year old (at least) laptop I'd set aside to gather dust. I have StrawberryPerl v5.12.1 on that laptop.

Once I was done stumbling around in CygwinPerl instead of working in Strawberry (-;, I ran a make test first with the package as downloaded, that is, with no patches applied to 02-Win32-Netsh-Wlan.t, then did it again with that test file patched. The visible result was the same; the tests passed in each case. This proves that Windows 7 uses the old Wireless Network Connection terminology in its netsh output. And demonstrates that my patch won't break things if someone is installing to an old Windows system.

A just machine to make big decisions
Programmed by fellows (and gals) with compassion and vision
We'll be clean when their work is done
We'll be eternally free yes, and eternally young
