Let me add that the Win32 experience needed includes both Perl and the Windows API/C. Some of the bigger challenges may be getting unix-y programs to compile or unravelling problems in distributions that may build OK with Visual C++ and nmake, but break with MinGW and dmake (the tools in VanillaPerl). E.g. Win32::API is in the latter category.
