- I'm doing some work with the MS-DOS port of Perl. Has anyone
- compiled a list of things-to-beware-of in MS-DOS Perl? For
- instance, "\n" generates the CR/LF sequence in MS-DOS Perl,
- giving you 2 bytes where you were used to getting 1.
-
- The "man" page that came with my MS-DOS Perl isn't DOS-
- specific. My impression is that MS-DOS Perl is kind of
- unexplored territory.
