This is never going to work:

my $win32 ="Win32.pm"; import $win32 qw(GetOSName);

If there isn't already an import() in your current package, this will effectively become:

'Win32.pm'->import( 'GetOSName' );

Because there's no package called Win32.pm, nothing will get imported. You're better off writing:

Win32->import( 'GetOSName' );

... or even:

'Win32'->import( 'GetOSName' );
