Greetings,
I may have a need to port some Perl that has been developed on a *nix system to Windows 2000. I know already that some of the code will definitly need to be changed and some will have to be removed completely because the functionality of the routines in question is not available on the Windows platform. I have never worked with Perl in the Windows environment, are there any points that I might need to watch out for. The code I'm looking to port consists of a homegrown module and a bare template that we use as the base for the scripts we need to create. I'm basically just looking for suggestions or advice in dealing with Perl on Windows.

Thanks.

• 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.
