in reply to Need help to change from windows perl to linux perl

you just need to have perl installed in ur Linux machine . Perl is installed by default on linux with some standard packages . if you have more knowledge of perl as u have worked on windows u can select the modules reuqired by you at the time of installtion

in linux box u can check ur version of perl by perl -V which gives u the version of perl and u can look for modules installed in @INC directory

installing modules in perl is easier provided you have internet connectivity just type out
perl -MCPAN -e shell
on the command prompt and then install <module_name> will do the rest for you
remember for installing perl modules u need to a root if not then u can see her http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2002/04/10/mod_perl.html

Hope this helps you
good luck using perl on linux
