I've done alot of work on a CPAN module. I need comments on the APIs that I added. Would how have implemented it differently? do you see an easier or more intuitive way to arrange the parameters? different function call names? Is the quads support not portable enough between native quad perls and 32 bit perls? Is the pod not clear enough?

Specifically I need comments on http://search.cpan.org/~bulkdd/Win32-API-0.70_02/API.pm#UseMI64, http://search.cpan.org/~bulkdd/Win32-API-0.70_02/API.pm#SafeReadWideCString, and http://search.cpan.org/~bulkdd/Win32-API-0.70_02/API.pm#q. There aren't public yet, so they can still be changed. Examples of the actual quads support are in the test file v70.t and 01_Struct.t in the tarball.

The changes are also at github as individual commits, https://github.com/bulk88/perl5-win32-api.
