in reply to Perl/CGI Development on Win32 in 2004

Cygwin is what I use at home and at work and it has been a godsend. It gives you a Unix-like feel to a Win32 computer. Nearly every major opensource distribution has hooks for cygwin when installing. Oh - and it's free. :-)

Personally, my IDE is whatever flavor of vi is installed. You can even donwload gVim for Win32. Oh - and if you don't use some sort of source control (CVS, RCS, SubVersion, SourceSafe, etc), you're just asking for trouble.

Then there are Damian modules.... *sigh* ... that's not about being less-lazy -- that's about being on some really good drugs -- you know, there is no spoon. - flyingmoose

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested
