Fellow Monks,

I'm currently using Activestate Perl (v5.8) on Windows 2000, and using IIS as the webserver. A few days ago a nice shiny new Apple G4 Mac landed on my desk with OS X installed on it. I'm very keen to start using Perl on this new box (and also move my current cgi scripts over to it also and start using it as my webserver). perl -v in the terminal window shows me that the Mac is using Perl 5.6, but despite this, did any other Monks make the same transition from Windows to Mac? I was wondering was there anything that I should know before I move over??

Thanks in advance,
Plato
