Phoenix.pm: Best Methods on Win32

OK, here's a Perl-related post/question. :)

While burning CD-ROM backups on Win32, I discovered that several paths are
longer than the ISO standard allows.

In building a script that reports on paths that are longer than that
standard (255 chars, I think...), what suggestions does anyone have on best
approaches?

Would accessing Win32 FileObject be the best approach?  Or simply reading
dirs/files natively (within Perl...)?

I'm thinking about *starting* with the Win32 FO and seeing how that goes.
Suggestions most welcome.
