In short... Yes! It does run on Windows

I currently have a script I'm working on that uses the Net::IRC module on a windows machine. I started out trying to port a script called Whiplash (available at www.networkdweebs.com) that is an IRC web interface that only runs on *nix boxes. It uses ALRM to communicate between processes, which isn't available on windows. Plus, the code was growing too messy with me trying to trace through and remove the *nix specific code to make it work on windows so I realized I'd be better of writing my own version to be cross platform. I may post it here once I get everything up and running, but the irctest script that comes with the Net::IRC package is a great example of the code...
