Re: code that runs (and works) on both Linux and Win32

in reply to code that runs (and works) on both Linux and Win32

Perosnally I use the if pragma for loading modules. I put platform specific code into subroutines, and call via a dispatch table:

# simplified
my %g_dt = (MsWin32 => \&WinStuff,
            linux   => \&LinuxStuff,
            # and so on
           );
...
# The call
$g_dt{$^O}->(args);

(With suitable checks at load time to ensure $^O is a key to %g_dt)
