Perl is “just as portable” in the same way that a motorcycle can just as easily drive under a steamroller... it’s not gonna be pretty and there’s no easy way out if you do it.

I write Perl scripts for Windows and Linux, and I don't find portability to be especially onerous. Of course there are platform differences to keep in mind, but is that any different from any other cross-platform scripting language?
