The Perl Toolchain Summit needs more sponsors. If your company depends on Perl, please support this very important event.

Changes for version 0.13 - 1998-09-17

  • New modules from Tye McQueen: Win32API-Registry-0.15 and Win32-TieRegistry-0.21. These are much better designed and implemented than Win32-Registry. They also begin the concerted effort to layer user-friendly implementations of Win32 functionality on top of a comprehensive set of Win32API-* modules.
  • New module from Bret Giddings: Win32API-Net-0.04 provides access to the Lan Manager API. Currently supports only the account management functions, but the long-term intent is to support most of the Net* API.
  • Newer version of Win32::OLE from Jan Dubois. See OLE/Changes for detailed list.
  • PerfLib bugs fixed (thanks to Jutta Klebe and Henry Ptasinski <henry@epigram.com>).
  • Subversive use of LDLOADLIBS in Internet/Makefile.PL fixed.
  • Fixed GPF in NetAdmin::LocalGroupIsMember()
  • Win32::Registry now supports setting REG_NONE entries. Spurious warnings on 'use' fixed.
  • install.bat has improved sanity checks (thanks to Tye McQueen).
  • Various tweaks to help PERL_OBJECT build
