Dear monks !

I would like to hear from those of you that are familiar with writing perl code on WinXP(or 2K)-ActivePerl and on LinuxRH9.

I have to decide about the platform that we're going to develop our system that has very strong relation to networking, L2,L3,L4,L7.
I would like to use your experience with the Win-ActivePerl tool and make a comparison with Linux, on the following issues:

1) What are the main differences between Win devel with ActivePerl and Linux Devel ?
2) Is there any difference when going to install modules, or modules that work on Linux but don't work on Win?
3) Is there any limitation when dealing with networking modules?

I appreciate if you can tell me something else that I didn't think about.

Note that I know perl on Linux very well and know almost nothing on ActivePerl.

Thanks,
Mosh.
