Dark side? I thought that was M$ - you know BORG, Dark Side, etc <g>

I would suggest "Learning Perl on Win32 Systems" - "The Llama book"
(3rd edition is out soon). Check www.oreily.com
I agree on the unix OS, but it is not always possible. I currently
only run M$ :-(.
ViM - I love it (and recommend it). Not sure you want to learn VI and
Perl at one go... A good windows based text editor that I use as much
as ViM is www.TextPad.com (and yes there are others).

The software said it required Windows 3.1 or better so I installed Linux.
