I found perldoc Win32CORE (which lead me to
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2007/06/msg125741.html),
which was a bit enlightening on how this works; it looks like this is
probably a perl 5.9 change (that was backported to 5.8.9?), and the
Win32 [CORE] functions now autoload Win32.pm, whereas they used to be
statically linked into perl58.dll.
