in reply to Unix Shell

Is buying a machine really out of the question? You could load Linux and Perl on an ancient box for probably under $300. If you're a student, it might be possible to request funding for a meager *nix environment, or perhaps you've got some friends that would be interested in throwing down for a timeshared machine.

(cLive ;-) $300?

    $300? You can get a reasonable (P133) laptop on eBay for around $100-150. That should be sufficient for script testing.

    Of course, it depends where you are - if you're roaming, eBay may not be such an easy option.
