in thread pack()ing Win32 Structures

'P' and 'N' are constants defined in Win32::API, not strings. The third parameter to new Win32::API should be an anonymous list or an array reference, not a string literal 
                     'GetTimeZoneInformation',
                      [P],
                      N

FWIW, according to the documentation, string literals are allowed for specifying the types of the parameters.

    You must have a newer version of Win32::API than I do. The docs in mine say:

    The third parameter, the input parameter list, specifies how many arguments the function wants, and their types. It MUST be passed as a list reference.
