Re^4: what is the difference between perl scripting in windows and linux

Well ikegami, you use win32 alot, and I respect your opinion. But I still think Perl was designed with gcc in mind. I suppose if you never experienced the ease of "perl Makefile.PL, make, make install" on a module, you might get used to searching various win32 module repositories for binary compatible modules for your win32 system, and consider that easy and clean.

The OP wanted comparisons, and the above are mine, an old linux dog who won't learn win32 tricks. :-)

I suppose if you never experienced the ease of "perl Makefile.PL, make, make install" on a module Not only are you mistaken about my experience, it's much easier to use `cpan Module`, and even easier to do `ppm install Module` since it handles external libraries. So `[Install external dependencies] [Find URL for Module] wget [URL for Module] perl Makefile.PL make test make install` [download] becomes `ppm install Module` [download] And if that fails, `[Install external dependencies] cpan Module` [download] It's basically the equivalent of Debian's `apt-get install perl-module-lib` [download] except it also works for builds of Perl other than the system build.

I will take your word for it.... that modules on Windows is easier, and refer everyone to this link, and your explanation. :-) I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth. Old Perl Programmer Haiku	[reply]
