Well, it is possible, in theory, if you cross-compile the modules on Windows for the target Linux. But it is very unlikely, and a lot of work, compared to trying to build a Perl similar to the unidentified Linux machine in a VM.
To do that, I would run perl -V (or perl -MConfig -MData::Dumper -e 'print Dumper \%Config', or the mod_perl equivalent), to get at the configure line (config_args), and then potentially look at the integer and float sizes (ivsize, nvsize).
use 5.012;
use Config;
say $Config{config_args};
say $Config{nvsize};
say $Config{ivsize};
Building a Perl with parameters identical to these (or even one where the whole of Config_heavy.pl matches the one on the unidentified Linux VM) is likely to yield compatible modules you can just upload.
Ideally, I will be merely
- Download the appropriate Perl version as tarball in your VM
- Unpack the tarball in your VM:
tar xjf perl-5.32.1.tar.xz
-
Configure Perl. Maybe you can find a leftover Policy.sh or config.sh in the unnamed Linux server. Otherwise start with the output of perl -MConfig -e 'print $Config{config_args}' (from the unnamed Linux machine).
Try different things until you get the generated Config_heavy.pl to match up with the one from tne unnamed Linux machine.
sh Configure ...
-
Test and install Perl:
make test
make install
- Compile your own, hopefully compatible modules for the remote side.
