"Hard links are implemented on Win32...under NTFS only" is good enough for me and makes perfect sense because only NTFS supports hard links; FAT doesn't. Thank you for pointing me to the better documentation in this case, FUNCTION IMPLEMENTATIONS. It helpfully guided me to do this with Config:

C:\>perl -MConfig -le "print $Config{d_link}"
define

C:\>perl -MConfig -le "print Config::config_sh()" | grep link
d_link='define'
d_readlink='undef'
d_symlink='undef'
issymlink=''
ld='link'

C:\>

This is arguably the very best documentation of what my Perl can do.

I'll be back later with questions about how to create and manage multiple processes in Perl under Win32. For now, I'm off to study Mr. Peabody Explains fork() and a few perldoc pages.

Thanks!

Jim
