Yeah, I use linux and your script still dosn't work right. First, the test for OS dosn't work, and I had to comment all that sub out. 
if ($ENV{'OS'} =~ /Windows_NT/){ ..... }

it still tries to load Win32 modules at compile time, you need to put it in a BEGIN block, see use module if condition is met or Conditionally override 'time' builtin with Time::HiRes::time()

Second your rotation is very stuttered and lags behind the mouse movement, on linux anyways. If I move the mouse in a straight line horizontally across the screen, it rotates, But if I try to move the mouse around the dial, it switches direction at each cartesian axis crossing. Weird. You need to do some "quadrant checking", so that when you move from one quadrant to the next, the rotation continues smoothly.
