I think it works the same 
C:\>perl -MDynaLoader -e "  warn DynaLoader::dl_load_file($^X); "
4194304 at -e line 1.

C:\>perl -MWin32::API -le " warn Win32::API::LoadLibrary($^X)"
4194304 at -e line 1.

I check memory usage with/without loadlibrary call, it doesn't grow. 
C:\>perl -le" printf q!%x!, 4194304 "
400000

C:\>perl -le " @f = `Listdlls.exe $$`; print @f[8..10]"
