Technically true of [insert language on platform here]
when you are first starting out ;-)

I spent many nights crying over having many COBOL and/or
RPG II programs due at the same time and not having
any idea whether it would be worth it to switch to C.
You get the idea :)

Seriously though ...

I wouldn't say that per se.  Just about 99% of everything
posted here should run on MacOS, NT, etc, without much
change. Sure, there are NT specific libraries, just as there
are MacOS specific libraries.

Just the nature of platform development, that and each
author's attempts at squeezing the best performance out
of the platform and wishing to maintain a specific set
of compatibility's on said platform.

For example, so far the only piece of code that
wouldn't work out of the starting gate is MJD's
recent script using PIPE...

So, turn your inquiry into a FWP oriented post and
post away - I am sure someone with NT or over all
better perl experience would point you in the right
direction.  If not, there is always C.L.P.MISC

HTH,
