Greetings,
I may have a need to port some Perl that has been developed on a *nix system to Windows 2000. I know already that some of the code will definitly need to be changed and some will have to be removed completely because the functionality of the routines in question is not available on the Windows platform. I have never worked with Perl in the Windows environment, are there any points that I might need to watch out for. The code I'm looking to port consists of a homegrown module and a bare template that we use as the base for the scripts we need to create. I'm basically just looking for suggestions or advice in dealing with Perl on Windows.

Thanks.
