Every language has the possibility of running into cross-platform issues on some level. I have found, for example. that Perl has a few Windows issues, but these can be easily worked around. I would expect that other scripting languages may run into issues with braind-dead Win32 API behavior too (for example the exec() system call behaves... unexpectedly,,, on that platform).
The big cross-platform disadvantage for Perl up until recently has been the lack of an alternative to ActivePerl (which is not freely redistributable). Vanilla Perl (our current approach) is better in many regards. Best Wishes, Chris Travers ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
