Re^2: Cross-Platform code

Perhaps you should use the $^O special variable instead, since it doesn't depend on a CGI environment.
It contains a descriptive name for the OS (e.g. "MSWin32" under Windows).

perl -e "print pack('h*', 16369646), scalar reverse $="

Or you can use the `Config` module, if you need more information about the system. If you're using regular CGI's (and doesn't need mod_perl) you can use Cygwin at the Windows station, without problems. You will avoid annoyances with IIS, permissions or registry. But if you need mod_perl, just forget about. I recently (two weeks ago) had tried to use Apache 2 with Cygwin and it just didn't worked.
