in reply to Platform Differences

From Memory :
  • Newlines causes trouble (\n is different among platform and catches 1 or 2 char...)
  • Case sensitivity for filenames can screw your unicity tests...
  • Some filenames can cause trouble on some OSes
    Avoid CON, PRN, AUX...
    (In fact only one OS was dumb enough to crash when accessing a c:\con\con ;-)

But probably a lot more in perlport
