Most of my work with Perl is writing scripts and
triggers for ClearCase, a cross-platform SCM
tool. All of my scripts must run in Solaris,
Linux and Windows.

I've encountered various problems in maintaining
a single script which runs across Windows and Unix.
I've collected a number of good tricks as well
as a number of useful modules to assist, especially
in usage of the system() and qx() functions.

I will present:

* Basic scripting tricks (use of $^O, globbing)
* Filename parsing (tr{\\}{}d, File::Spec module)
* Running external programs (system(), Argv module)
* Forks and processes
* CPAN Perl vs. ActivePerl
