Files with the 'patch' extension would indicate they are patch files. If you were on MacOS or a Linux machine, you would probably have patch already installed. Since you're using Strawberry Perl, you'll have to get it on your machine to use the patch file you've obtained.

After a little searching, I found a port of patch for Windows from the GnuWin32 project, which I've used before. It is native Windows executables for UNIXy style programs.

Once you've installed patch, you can take your patch file and apply it in your Strawberry Perl distribution by redirecting it using the redirection operator:
patch < Object-Import-1-004-RT106769.patch

You might have to be in the directory where the Import.pm of your Object package is located, which would be most likely under C:\Strawberry\perl\lib\Object

UPDATE: Go ahead and follow VinsWorldcom's advice in Re: strawberry perl Windows and apply patch - I didn't know Strawberry already included a patch.exe in C:\Strawberry\c\bin

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
