Hi,

if your code runs on Solaris it will run on FreeBSD

But perhaps not all versions of *nix.
A firm I worked for moved from Solaris to a flavour of
Linux, I'm not sure which, We found a few bugs popped
up which Solaris Perl tolerated but Linux Perl didn't.
Also, if you intend to backtick or system to use OS
stuff, some of the switches are different.
It's not a huge problem, but it should be born in mind.
As for Solaris as a developer platform, I never had any
problems, but when we moved to Linux, we got much better
performance on cheaper boxes. Of course, that may have
been due to the System Admins.
