The question is: "Why won't it run on NT?" If you can give us some specific error messages, it would be helpful.

Because Perl is designed to be portable, it's often a matter of very specific OS features that cause the issues. Does your program compile? Do you have the right version of Perl? Did you remember to change the shebang line to point to your Perl compiler (boy, I can't tell you how many times I've been bitten by that bug).

If you can answer some of those questions and post those answers here, we can give you much better feedback -- but please don't post 1,000+ lines of code :)

Also, check here for a list of related Perlmonks nodes.

You can also check out this perl.com article which deals specifically with portability issues.

Cheers,
