In general, Windows is sufficiently different from Unix that no single simple rule will cover all of the changes you're going to have to make if you're using system(). If you can find ways to do things in pure Perl, without relying on external commands, that will be much more portable. As others have pointed out, mkdir exists as a Perl builtin. Other things can be done with modules (although getting CPAN working on Windows can be non-trivial, so you may want to constrain yourself to modules that ship with a particular Perl distribution for Windows).

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).
