Official Answer: it depends.

My work laptop runs Perl under Cygwin which runs v5.14.2. Our production systems run Perl ranging from stone tablets (perls from oysters?) to a locally home grown Perl "distro" configured at 5.10.x (not sure about the x) and no two seem to be the same.

I'm currently trying to mint my own Perl package for deployment so I can write stuff on my laptop and have a HOPE of having it run on the production systems.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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.
