Subject: "getpwuid function is unimplemented" on Win32 when File::HomeDir is not installed
On a Win32 system, running perl -Mlocal::lib after installation without File::HomeDir installed results in the following: The getpwuid function is unimplemented at C:/Perl/site/lib/local/lib.pm line 158. Installing File::HomeDir fixes the issue. It would be great to see either File::HomeDir as a required dependency on Win32, or a workaround based on the value of $^O to avoid the error.

Forgot to mention, this is with ActivePerl 5.8.822.

Our deps now pull in File::HomeDir, so this is resolved indirectly.
