Thanks for all your help.
I liked
use if $^O eq "MSWin32", "Win32::API";
the best, but settled on using:
BEGIN{
if($^O =~ /MSWin32/i){ require Win32::API; }
}
This is because our Linux base is still operating on Perl 5.6.0, so the really
cool conditional 'use' is not recognized.

Strange. 'perldoc if' seems to do the trick for me. Also, it is listed
under pragmas in the Activestate html documentation.
I am using perl 5.8.*, if that helps. I think that it is a fairly recent
addition. I don't think it was in 5.6.
