Subject: Win32 detected if running 32-bit perl on 64-bit windows
If you run a 32-bit perl on a 64-bit platform, either calling GetOSVersion() in scalar context or the new GetOSDisplayName() call (nice) return 32-bit. For instance for a 2008R2 server (which is 64-bit only) GetOSDisplayName() will return "Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard (32-bit)" See the following info from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms724833%28VS.85%29.aspx "To determine whether a Win32-based application is running on WOW64, call the IsWow64Process function. To determine whether the system is running a 64-bit version of Windows, call the GetNativeSystemInfo function."

I meant of course, calling GetOSVersion() in *list* context.
