Hello Frederic,
Sorry my question was not very clear. I meant the Windows version versus the
Linux version through an abstraction layer ( a little bit like WINE but the
other way around).
I suspect the answer is the Windows version but then I am not sure what
happens to the socket connection used by the Perl server. Is that available
in Windows too?
Regards,
John
