Currently I dual-boot my laptop with XP and Ubuntu. Ubuntu is mostly for Perl development, and Windows everything else. This isn't a huge issue, but it's becoming more of one now that I' getting more into PHP, etc, and need to go back to Windows more often (I use Dreamweaver, etc). So I decided I'd install ActiveState Perl, PHP, Apache in Windows, and make that my "development" environment for the time being. But I found that some of my scripts don't work because I use the "cwd" module. Now I'm concerned that scripting Perl in Win32 will cause problems when I move my scripts over to my UNIX webserver. All of my scripts will be used on some flavor of UNIX. I will write them in Win32 just because it's easier to do the rest of my development. So my question is, I understand Perl is portable and cross-platform, but is writing stuff in Win32 to use in UNIX a pain to really do? Also, I use Komodo. Thanks in advance.
