Re: Questions on porting Perl from Unix to Windows

This question is more complicated.  I don't have time to research a 
full answer.  Plus because of some windows nonsense, some user can 
run commands like this:

 >somescript.pl

and some cannot . . . so . . . we wrap all our perl utilities as BAT files.

I offer this *.BAT stub as an answer we have come up with (not the 
only or best - just "a" solution):

@rem = '--*-Perl-*--
@echo off
if "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" goto WinNT
perl -x -S "%0" %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
goto endofperl
:WinNT
perl -x -S %0 %*
if NOT "%COMSPEC%" == "%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe" goto endofperl
if %errorlevel% == 9009 echo You do not have Perl in your PATH.
if errorlevel 1 goto script_failed_so_exit_with_non_zero_val 2>nul
goto endofperl
@rem ';
#!perl
#line 15

__END__

I hope this helps.
