A lot of people here use Perl on Windows. One of my main uses for Perl
is manipulating Microsoft Word/Excel documents via Win32::OLE.

and vsftpd on my
linux server. I need to look at the setup on both.

Did you know you can use Explorer as an ftp client on Windows? It's fairly
handy.

Also have a look at line endings, windows-style line ends
(CRLF) generally don't mix well with Perl on *nix systems

The only problem with these on Unix systems is "bad interpreter" messages
if there is a ^M at the end of the #! line. But these messages come from the
shell, not Perl itself. Perl is able to cope with any kind of line
endings on Unix, so you can run your scripts as "perl myscript" it will
be OK.
