Running the code on perlmonks in 0.72 I got
_______________________________________________
sizeof('POINT') = 8
sizeof('CURSORINFO') = 20
sizeof('MYSTRUCT') = 12
_______________________________________________

on perlmonks you said you got
_______________________________________________
sizeof('POINT') = 8
sizeof('CURSORINFO') = 16
sizeof('MYSTRUCT') = 12
_______________________________________________


DWORD cbSize; 4
DWORD flags; 4
HANDLE hCursor; 4
POINT ptScreenPos; ->
LONG x; 4
LONG y; 4
= 20

So I believe this has been already fixed so I am closing this bug.
