...For me, one problem with Win32::Unicode is that I cannot easily install it on the systems at work where I need to use it. These systems are running ActivePerl 5.8.8 and there's no Win32-Unicode PPD file available for this older version of Perl in the default ActiveState repository.Is this an insurmountable impediment? Problem not, but it makes trying to use the module "less than ideal" for me. It's many more than a few mouse clicks away.

I hear you, if only life was ideal, but its only a bunch of extra clicks once. If you want it, its there for the taking. If you're not satisfied with your vendor, work with your vendor, get another or become your own.

Another problem with Win32::Unicode is its documentation: very scant and — let's be frank — in unreadable English. Ouch!

Which parts need improvement? AnnoCPAN? ;D

To me, the English looks like machine translation, but I can follow it.
