Win32 vs UNIX

[fatwallet961]

is perl code tested OK in win32 platform will 100% or 99% under UNIX?

how likely there is compatibility happens?

Since i am using Komodo IDE on win32 which has GUI debugger, do i
still need to learn the perl command line debugger?

( i think it's unefficient and difficult to use compare to GUI / IDE
debugger)

I can just debug the code under win32 GUI and tested OK then upload
and run on UNIX

Can you explain this. Are you saying windows modules? Or do you mean
referenced from Perl code.. COM api's? Can I reference from Perl Unix api's, or are you
joking?

AFAIK, the APIs for things like network and file manipulation extensions
(e.g. some CPAN modules) depend on a specific OS. I don't think you'll
get Solaris' ACLs to work using that module. Nor will specific calls to
the COM object which doesn't exist on UNIX.

I don't know what base perl does with system() or passthru() on each OS.
That's something that's might be non-portable as well.

I don't know the humor quotient in this group, but I say the responder
was 100% serious.
