1. Do either of these satisfy the dependency I'm missing?

No. FindBind has been a core module (part of perl) since 5.00307. StrawberryPerl includes FindBin ( perldoc -l FindBin).

2. How can I find out specifically which module needs FindBin? The cpan output was only what I pasted above -- nothing more informative.

I suggest you find the debug/verbose setting and turn it on, or install each module individually 

cpan  Win32

cpan  Win32::ChangeNotify

cpan  Win32::Clipboard

cpan  Win32::Console

cpan  Win32::Event

cpan  Win32::EventLog

cpan  Win32::File

cpan  Win32::FileSecurity

cpan  Win32::IPC

cpan  Win32::Internet

cpan  Win32::Job

cpan  Win32::Mutex

cpan  Win32::NetAdmin

cpan  Win32::NetResource

cpan  Win32::ODBC

cpan  Win32::OLE

cpan  Win32::PerfLib

cpan  Win32::Pipe

cpan  Win32::Process

cpan  Win32::Registry

cpan  Win32::Shortcut

cpan  Win32::Sound

cpan  Win32::TieRegistry

3. Will I regret switching? :)

Testicles :)
