Last update on this:
The Win32 core 'forwards' the Win32::GetCwd to the XS module, so
defined(&Win32::GetCwd) returns true but Win32::GetCwd() fails because at that
point in par.pl there is no hook in @INC (and maybe the Win32 isn't extracted
yet anyway).
I think making Win32 one of the 'require_modules' on MSWin is probably the best
approach.
It will save lots of problems for packaged apps that currently call any of the
'forwarded' list below without requiring 'Win32' in the script.
It is also a 1 line change and it works without changing code that could break
something else.
