Perl for Win32. Kind of like trying to race the Indy500 with a
skateboard, isn't it? If the only thing that you have access to is a
Windozw box, you may want to try downloading CygWin32. It gives you a
bash shell on a Windoze box. It also has *REAL* Perl. There is also a
commercial product called MKS-Toolkit. It does the same thing as
CygWin32, except that it is based on ksh.
