I couldn't be sure. I just looked at it briefly and many code segments like
this
xopen \*STDERR, ">&" . fileno $dad_err
seems to suggest that it might be relying on operating system redirection
that Win 9x doesn't have. But it might not be following any of the paths
that take it through code like that. Or it might be that Win 9x perl
supports that even though the operating system doesn't.
