Hi Support, I have created a perl script that read a configuration file and extract from it one field if pattern match (field separator is ;;) If i run it on Linux host it works corretcly but if i try to run the script on Windows one it fails (it does not print $1 value) The perl version is for both environment v5.8.8. This an example of entry in configuration file: 
hostname1;;/tmp/fab/app01/log/app01.log /tmp/fab/app01/log/app02.stder
+r /tmp/fab/app01/log/app03.stdout;;
hostname2;;C:\temp\log\loga.txt C:\temp\log\logb.txt;;

#!/opt/OV/contrib/perl/bin/perl

#Set my variables

my $in_file = $ARGV[0];

#my $in_file = 'configuration_logfile_weblogic';
open my $in_fh, '<', $in_file or die "Could not open file $in_file: $!
+";

my $fqdn = `hostname`;

@hostname_short = split(/\./,$fqdn,2);

my $hostname = "@hostname_short[0]";

$hostname=~ tr/A-Z/a-z/;

while ( my $line = <$in_fh> ) {
        if($line =~ m/^$hostname;;(.*);;/) {
        print $1;
        }
}

close $in_fh  or die "Could not close file $in_file: $!";
