( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Hello PerlMonks! I am in the midst of writing (for me) quite a large piece of code. My development platforms are Linux and Solaris. However I would like to release this code some day on an unsuspecting world - and that world generally runs Windows.

I know of Activestate and Cygwin and other things that should make my life easier, but what general considerations are there for porting code like this? I know Apache and MySQL are now available for Windows (and what I am working on requires this) but do LWP, DBI, CGI.pm etc work 'as expected' on Windows platforms?

Can anyone point out any potential pitfalls I might encounter? Or am I working myself up into a lather over nothing much?

I've never attempted to write any code under Windows, so I am proceeding with trepidation...

Many humble thanks in advance for your wisdom

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
