Most of the specific Perl issues on cross-platform development are mentioned in perlport manual. You should also look for bits and pieces of shell code that is very usually hardcoded into perl scripts under Unix systems.

I'd say the major differences are path separators, handling of binary data in files and use of external shell utilities.
