Hi Ray -
I'm cleaning out my mailbox and ran across your message about running
Perl on Win32 and issues about dynamic swap sizing...
While it is not exactly dynamic swap, you can use files *in the
filesystem* to do swapping. This will work in a pinch. See the mkswap
manpage for more

Neat. Is it copy on write? (i.e. pages are copied when written to, as

As for differences - there are a few. The work of ActivePerl
(www.activeperl.com) has not been without fruition, however, and they've
managed to create a usable (barely) port of Perl and several common
packages. Be warned, though, you may find
Does Perl on Win32 have the fork() call yet? If so, is it reasonably
fast (as it is on Unix)? fork() is a nice, simple way to make a server
(for example).
I would guess if perl 5.005 is on Win32 it has threads, no? (not that
