Can I encourage you to think a bit more about this question? The
elements of the Perl language work perfectly in any operating system;
try

print "Hello world\n";

But modules that do specific Windows-ish stuff won't give the same
results in Linux; in fact they'll probably crash. Any of the
Win32::whatever modules, for example.

Other functions are different between Windows and Linux, so if your
Perl exploits them the results will be different. There's a section
in the ActiveState help that details a lot of them. "Windows
implementation quirks" is a good place to start.

Maybe someone is at this moment posting useful URLs for you to look
at; I hope so. If not then you'd be better to take a simple Perl
program from your Windows machine and run it in Linux and see what
happens! If you don't understand what happened, or can't work out how
to fix it, post again!
