[WEB4LIB] UNIX to NT -- Ack! My PERL scripts!

[Peter Schlumpf]

Shirl,

Not knowing the details of your situations or the reason for "upgrading" to
Window NT/IIS perhaps the powers that be could be persuaded to consider
upgrading to Linux/Apache.  It would likely be a far less painful upgrade path
than to NT/IIS.
