Seriously though, I would expect things in Win32::* to only work on
Windows, things in Linux::* only to work on linux, and so on for many
other sections (including Mac::* where I have some modules). Portable
code isn't always the goal.
I want my code to be more like File::Spec, which provides a common
interface to a load of platform-specific modules. That has very good
coverage of bizarro OSes, and I think we'd all agree that it's an
excellent example of a nice portable module.
It doesn't work on RISC OS though.
