All of the core functions should be close/identical. What you need to look out for is shell-outs (system, `bacticks`, open with shell args, etc). You can leave the shebang line as is if you aren't using a UNIX style shell - if you are, you can prefix 'perl' to the script name (eg: perl script.pl) which will ignore the perl path in the shebang line and/or you can install Perl (or a partial copy) in /usr/local/bin on windoze (eg: for your webserver to access). Watch out for differences in fork, sockets/select, etc. -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert ICQ=14439852 (_/ / ) // // DBE Collectibles Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] / ) /--< o // // http://dbecoll.tripod.com/ (Free site for Perl) -/-' /___/_<_</_</_ Castle of Medieval Myth & Magic http://www.todbe.com/ _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
