Your question is, but that is by no means obvious for most Perl questions.
In fact I would hazard a guess that the vast majority of "Perl questions" are not about Perl at all, but about a variety of other subjects of only peripheral relevance, for example:
CGI
web server configuration
shell scripting
Unix
Windows
line endings in text files on different operating systems
browsers
databases
SQL
FTP
file permissions
hairdressing
poetry
BTW, no programming language works "exactly" the same under different operating systems, but Perl comes closer than most.

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.
