| Win32::API source code repository and history                      |

It required some trial and error on my part due to lack of experience
using svn_load_dirs, but at last, we have it.

The full Win32::API source code history throughout all CPAN releases.
Check it out, it's [0]hosted on google code, together with all others
Win32 specific modules.

Thanks to Jan for helping me out with this. And if you're wondering, I
think it's time to "open up" the source code repository for Win32::API.
Lately I've been receiving lots of emails, requests for support, new
implementations and bug reports for it.

Since I have less and less spare time, I think it's important that people
that want or know how to contribute, do it. And do it on the "latest and
greatest" version, with all recent bug fixes and/or new features.

Of course, a new version is currently in development. It should fix
problems using DLL APIs with double or float arguments, together with
other minor issues. I will need some more time to finalize these changes,
and then hopefully I will release the new version on CPAN in a reasonable
time.

So, [1]here it is... Enjoy!

This Week on perl5-porters - 11-17 May 2008
===========================================

Dominic Dunlop: Trouble is, some of it is CGI, and people whinge loudly
when previously-clean CGI starts warning.

Ed Avis: Ha ha ha. I think any possible programmer mistake can be found
in a Perl CGI program somewhere.
