As someone who migrated a Unix-only PERL application to simultaneous development in both Win32 and Unix (one source, two platforms!), I'd say PERL is pretty darn portable. It's all in how you write it. In addition, I don't even know what Unix OS this app is run on at any given time. It could be Solaris. It could be Sun. It could be Linux. Doesn't much matter to me. So long as you go through the API's provided for you by the nice people at CPAN, you NEVER have to worry about portability. Ever. Not even once.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
