[tpm] Computer question

[Rob Janes]

linux on perl is a no brainer, here's windows links:

the standard bearer (might cost):
http://www.activestate.com/Products/activeperl/

hackers perl (free):
http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=perl

if you install all of cygwin, you'll even get a bash shell, awk, 
x-windows and lots of cpan perl stuff, making your windows act very much 
like a linux box.

perl even runs on a router (wrt54g linksys) with 32meg of ram:
http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=4122

the router will apparently host nagios, perl web cgis, etc.

suffice to say, perl will run on your machine regardless of the os.
