If this is personal use on your machine, why don't you install cygwin? That
will give a bash shell on your Windows box you can use for most of the
shell work that you were accustomed to. (http://www.cygwin.com/)
Just a thought.

UNIX utilities in Perl

Hi,
I am not sure if this is the right list for this question.
I suspect it belongs on a list about CPAN, but the CPAN
site doesn't appear to mention one.
I am working on Windows, and find I keep writing very
short Perl scripts to implement UNIX utilities. I call
them zap_grep, zap_wc, zap_unique, zap_diff, zap_sort.
My versions are very crude compared with the UNIX
originals, and I wondered if somebody had already gone
through this exercise.
A search of CPAN came up with "prep" (Perl grep), "wc",
and "uniq".
Are these modules collected together anywhere?
Should they be?
What additional UNIX utilities would be useful? (Above,
I suggest diff and sort.)
What would be *really* useful is a method to pipe
filters together.
Regards,
Martin
