You could provide the errors you are seeing. "They don't work" only leaves us to guess. You might double check your modules. Does the Windows box have the same ones you installed on SUSE?	[reply]

If you've got some level of control over the Windows machines for which you're developing the Perl programs, it may make sense to install Perl on those machines. This is the approach I used at my workplace: several applications I've developed were easiest to do in Perl, and it's quite easy to download a Windows port of Perl (there are several, see Perl for Windows). Don't use perlcc, especially see the note "The whole codegen suite (perlcc included) should be considered very experimental. Use for production purposes is strongly discouraged." emc Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read. Groucho Marx	[reply]

Take a look at perl2exe. There is a version that you can install on linux that will allow you to build for windows from linux. I do believe the is a license cost so it may not even be worth your time! My sig Sucks!	[reply]
