+=head1 NAME
+
+Win32CORE - Win32 CORE function stubs
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This library provides stubs for the functions marked as [CORE] in L<Win32>.
+See that document for usage information.  When any of these functions are
+called, the full Win32 module is loaded automatically.  It is preferred
+that callers of these functions explicitly C<use Win32;>.
+
+=head1 HISTORY
+
+Win32CORE was created to provide on cygwin those Win32:: functions that
+for regular win32 builds were provided by default in perl.  In cygwin
+perl releases prior to 5.8.6, this module was standalone and had to
+be explicitly used.  In 5.8.6 and later, it was statically linked into
+cygwin perl so this would no longer be necessary.
+
+As of perl 5.9.5/Win32 0.27, these functions have been moved into
+the Win32 module.  Win32CORE provides stubs for each of the former
+CORE Win32:: functions that internally just load the Win32 module and
+call it's version, and Win32CORE is statically linked to perl for both
+cygwin and regular win32 builds.  This will permit these functions to
+be updated in the CPAN Win32 module independently of updating perl.
