it seems that this is a low-traffic mailing list (10 postings this
year), but I thought I'd mention that I've created:
http://win32.perl.org/wiki/index.php?title=Win32_Idiosyncrasies
It basically mentions the fact that 4-arg select for files and pipes,
STDERR with wperl.exe and fork() don't work.
I'm sure you guys know more things that are special/tricky on windows
too and can elaborate or correct my findings.
Thanks for a great project. This mailing list was very hard to find!
That's both true and sad. Please feel free to advertise it more on
win32.perl.org. (I know, I could do that as well...)
Setting up that wiki page is a really good idea. Off the top of my head,
I seem to remember that there is a similar documentation page as part of
the ActivePerl distribution which probably lists more gotchas. I'm not
sure whether it was one of the normal core man pages (perlwin32?) or one
of those written by ActiveState (and thus specific to AS' Perl), however.
Best regards,
Steffen
