But still, there is people out there who refuse to use UNIX and stick to NT.
And there are some who are forced into using NT for other (business?) reasons. There are also some cases where a simple Windows desktop setup is more appropriate to run certain types of scripts.
Does this mean that if something runs on my machine is able to run both in UNIX and NT? Is there a way to know what runs on NT?
Yep on both counts, but with caveats. See perldoc perlport.
(And as Kanji notes, platform-specific modules, by their nature, are platform-specific. Don't expect to be able to use Win32::* modules on anything but Win32.)

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
