The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Win32::File::Ver
DSLIP: bdcfp
description: Reads Win32 exe,dll (PE) version information

rationale:
Namespace reasonong: this is a Win32-only module so it's under
Win32:: It reads file version information, therefore
Win32::File::Ver. The last bit is shortened to Ver from Version,
because the Microsoft library it links to is called version.dll and
if they have the same name the Microsoft compiler gets confused.
Also, there already was a module of the same name that did the same
thing (albeit using Win32::API, not XS) that was written by Mike
Blazer sometime in 1999. This seems to have vanished off the face of
the earth (and was never on CPAN).
This module is a perl wrapper for the Win32 Version API. It lets
you read the version information resource from files in the
Microsoft Portable Executable (PE) format (including programs, DLLs,
fonts, etc).
This module is useful for writing installers, or other tools that
need to deal with versioned programs or DLLs.
