ActivePerl is a (the?) Perl distribution win
platforms, maintained by ActiveState (hence the
name). For Un*x platforms, the distribution doesn't
have a special name. Fetch the source or a precompiled
binary from
http://www.perl.com/.
As for the modules, sure, they will work on both
platforms, but you might have to compile them
seperately, if the contain C source code. The
Details are in the README or INSTALL you find in
the module bundle. You'll find the at
CPAN.

If you go to CPAN and search for the module and read the documentation about it you can find out which platforms it has been tested on and if they pass. You can also get information about the author. Click here to see the Net Module

libnet does not included any C source that needs to be compiled. You can simply copy the relevant directories from a Linux box or other working machine to any machine with Perl installed and expect it to work fine.
This directory is /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/Net on my Linux box. | [reply] |
