Fair enough if you can't upgrade your Linux. However, I would suggest
using "use" rather than require, since that is what is suggested in the
module's documentation. Although it may be OK in this instance, in
geneeral it could make a difference. In order to use "use", you need the
string form of eval, e.g.
BEGIN {
if ($^O eq "MSWin32") {
eval "use Win32::API";
die $@ if $@;
}
}
