Padre::Util::Win32 - Padre Win32 Utility Functions

The Padre::Util::Win32 package is a internal storage area for miscellaneous functions that aren't really Padre-specific that we want to throw somewhere convenient so they won't clog up task-specific packages.

All functions are exportable and documented for maintenance purposes, but except for in the Padre core distribution you are discouraged in the strongest possible terms from using these functions, as they may be moved, removed or changed at any time without notice.
