Migrating perl on windows is painful, since it lacks a reliable way to complete this job. I can give you some advice:
  1. 1. Because windows 2003 is a 32bit system, I strongly recommend you test 32bit perl on new windows first. Then you can try 64bit perl
  2. 2. Don't use the latest perl, consider 5.20 or 5.22
  3. 3. Use portable strawberry perl , and by setting path to switch between various version for testing
  4. 4. Just copy the old perl to new windows to see if it will still work
  5. 5. Use par to know the dependencies of your script and install them on new perl respectively


I am trying to improve my English skills, if you see a mistake please feel free to reply or /msg me a correction
