[NTLUG:Discuss] portable perl question...

[Fred James]

(perhaps not really as off the track as it may seem at first)
Here I am learning Perl on a Linux machine and I get an opportunity to
take a class or two in it - what's the catch?
The class is being taught on MS machines - but of course they promise
not to be MS specific.
What's my question?
Got any hints on what to avoid in Perl on an MS machine - my aim is
portable, and my interest is Linux.

The class is suppose to introduce us to CGI in Perl, and right away the
guy says nobody writes CGI in Perl any more - is that true, or is he
possibly misinformed?
