I reproduced it ("Can't use string ("Win32::API::Struct") as a HASH ref
while "strict refs"") only on x64 Perl with a nmake test. 32 bit Perl
passed an nmake test. Win32::API is supposed to support x64 as good as
32 bits. If the user's app that uses Win32::API is written *correctly*,
his app will work transparently on x64 and 32 bit. I will investigate it
further tomorrow.

Google "perl make test" no quotes. I specifically used nmake (not make)
since I use Visual C, not Cygwin/Linux.
