Difference in programmin Perl for Unix vs. Win2000?
I've taught myself Perl programming for my Unix web servers (Free BSD).
A client is asking for a Windows-hosted web site.
The book I used - Perl and CGI for the World Wide Web - Visual Quickstart Guide (Elizabeth Castro, Peachpit Press, 1999) - suggests that Perl scripts written for a Unix web server (the focus of the book) will need to be modified in order to run on a Windows2000 web server.
How much modification to my scripts will be necessary?
Can anyone recommend a book or URL?
Thanks.

Welcome to TFW, f242.
not much... the shebang line will need altered (shebang = #!/path/to/perl)
Also, if you use any shell commands, they will need altered. But I think that's pretty much it.
