Here are the results:

49 TOTAL RESPONSES   = 100.0%
40 UNIX              =  81.6%
15 WINDOWS           =  30.6%
30 UNIX ONLY         =  61.2%
9  WINDOWS ONLY      =  18.4%
6  UNIX AND WINDOWS  =  12.2%
4  UNIX AND MAC      =   8.2%

About 30% of the people use Windows either
100% or around 50% of the time at work for
Perl development. About 80% use Unix at 
least 50% of the time or more. About 18%
use Perl in a pure Windows environment 
with no use of Unix which is interesting.

Incidentally most of the Windows responses
came in yesterday morning. The Unix responses
came in later in the day and then also today.
I didn't quantify the pattern, but it is 
possible that Windows users check their 
e-mail more regularly or at least respond
more quickly than Unix users.
