I think "Document" may be better than "File" in this case.  My first

Windows filesystem properties, like permissions, hidden flags,
ownership, etc.
Or maybe Win32::Storage::PropertySet?

I would expect something with "storage" in its name to be quite
low-level; it wouldn't occur to me that it would deal with
document-specific properties.
The module gets the informations which would be displayed in the Summary 
information dialog if you right click on a MS document (Word, Excel, 
...) chooseing "Properties" in the popup menu. But it can also read none 
MS documents like text files, if there are extra informations stored. (I 
just tested it with MS documents and normal text files.)

Also "PropertySet" makes it sounds that it _sets_ properties, whereas
you said your module reads them.
Hmm, you shall read it as a "Set of Properties" not setting properties.
I would suggest now to name the module Win32::Storage::ReadSummaryInfo.
