Are you doing something in Perl that is really a Windows-specific task...are you running Perl within Mac OS X or through Fink packages...do you have the same versions of Perl...are you running Perl on OS X or OS 9...do the computers have the same amount of RAM, similar HDs, running one locally vs off a networked HD???
