SPUG: RE - using ActivePerl coming from UNIX land

[Dave Coleman]

Brian ( and any other SPUGsters interested )
  I use ActivePerl for most everything, as my current employer is afriad of 
things with x's in their names.  I have worked on UNIX systems, but not 
nearly as much.  For the most part, I don't think you'll have any  problems, 
unless you really like to use system commands.  The biggest hassle you will 
have is trying to communicate with ActivePerl programmers using UNIX world 
terms.  I would be more than happy to assist in any way I can, although I 
doubt you'll have any trouble.



-SPUGsters,
I'm considering using ActivePerl for my next project. I've only programmed
PERL under UNIX (SGI, SUN, FreeBSD, Linux) previously so I'm wondering what
it would be like using ActivePerl. Is it a hassle, simple, ?

Any opinions?

Thanks,
