in reply to Win32 Resources?

Have you tried Activestate Perl? They have a very interesting distribution specially baked for windows users, maybe you can find any interesting there.

    I am using Activestate Perl 5.10, and I'm very pleased with it. The only problem is that some CPAN modules are not available on the Activestate repositotory, and I've found an interesting alternative source for some of them : http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/

    For process management, I find that the difference between Unix and windows is very important, and you can't apply what you do on Unix directly on windows

    You could have a look to Win32::PerfLib

      I was planning on using Activestate Perl, but I don't really know anything special about it.

      Thanks for the link to the CPAN PPM repo!

      Re process management, do you know any good resources that might describe the difference between unix and windows for someone with a unix perspective? This is exactly the kind of thing I'm worried about.

      Thanks!,

        Sorry, but I don't have additional resources on that. A few years back, I did some process management on Unix, but it was in C/C++, and now I am doing some on windows (very light...) but in Perl, so I couldn't make a reliable parallel. This is more a general felling that process management is really different between both OSes.
