You display attributes of my rant quite nicely. Thank you. I can manage to run Linux to test my CPAN offerings--- why can't you return the favor? If you don't want your software to run under windows, just say so--- no big deal. I believe your demand to be paid (in jest I hope) exactly illustrates the arrogance I spoke of when it comes to issues like this. The question is why? At all odds, Windows will die a natural death sooner or later. But surprise, so will Unix. All things considered your post is pretty thin and more than a little, how shall we say aggressive? I've no clue why you might write open source software and without regard to those reasons I applaud your doing so. That said, a job half done is still half done. 7 out of 10 machines out there have problems with those who can't get it right. Why contribute to this inequity? Why do you copy Microsoft and expect your users to debug your software? Why should it have had non-portable dependencies in the first place? The lack of empathy is really quite surprising. I'm not sure what to make of it...
