What am I not asking? I'm a Unix Perl developer. I've never done anything serious on Windows. What gimmes & gotchas are there?

In the same location (on the left hand side table of contents) that gjb noted above (C:\Perl\html\index.html, actually this depends on where you installed Perl you but it would be under the path\to\Perl\html\index.html) there is a link to Windows Specific things. And one item in this list is Windows Quirks. But you will probably want to glance through all the links in this section and the Windows Scripting Section.
