Previously these functions returned a list +with a single element C<undef> in case an error occurred. Now these functions +return the empty list in these situations. This applies to the following +functions: + + Win32::FsType + Win32::GetOSVersion + +The remaining functions are unchanged and continue to return C<undef> on +error even in list context. + +The Win32::SetLastError(ERROR) function has been added as a complement +to the Win32::GetLastError() function. + +The new Win32::GetFullPathName(FILENAME) returns the full absolute +pathname for FILENAME in scalar context. In list context it returns +a two element list containing the fully qualified directory name and +the filename. + =back =head2 Pragmata |
