I have limited experience with Win32, but with the limited tests that I've done, they work as well as on linux. I did run into a glitch with the way the various win32 versions handle shared variables. For instance, ME and earlier can't handle deep hashes, but XP handled it fine. So I would be cautious about thinking that anything that runs on XP will work with earlier releases. 
my @chs = (1..99);                             
                                               
# setting this to 2 works on windowsME         
# but will bog down over 3, and crash          
# at values like 60                            
my $max_prog_chan = 60;                        
                                               
my %days;                                      
 foreach my $channel(@chs){                    
   foreach my $count(0..$max_prog_chan){       
#print "$channel $count\n";                    
                                               
share $days{$channel}{$count}{'channel'};      
share $days{$channel}{$count}{'channel_info'}; 
share $days{$channel}{$count}{'episode_num'};  
share $days{$channel}{$count}{'start'};        
share $days{$channel}{$count}{'stop'};         
share $days{$channel}{$count}{'makedate'};

share $days{$channel}{$count}{'title'};        
share $days{$channel}{$count}{'writer'};       
share $days{$channel}{$count}{'director'};     
share $days{$channel}{$count}{'actors'};       
share $days{$channel}{$count}{'rating'};       
share $days{$channel}{$count}{'length'};       
share $days{$channel}{$count}{'category'};     
share $days{$channel}{$count}{'star_rating'};  
 }
