What platforms do your scripts run on?

  • Short Answer:

    They were created for Unix Systems that have Perl installed on them.

    Long Answer:

    These scripts can be used on any platform. They were specifically created for a unix machine that has Perl installed and compiled on it. These programs should work on Perl 4 and higher. Many users have told me that they were able to port these scripts to Windows and Mac, using the Windows and Mac ports of Perl. A minimum amount of hacking was required and it was mainly a fact of changing around the date and doing small touch ups to the scripts. If you have ported a scripts to either Windows or Mac, please let me know and send the source. I will gladly post it into the Extras section of my scripts archive so it will be available to everyone!

    However, certain scripts, specifically the HTTP Cookie Library, TextClock, TextCounter, and some others should work without any porting required because they lack any Unix specific features.
