To another windows, maybe. Quite aside from missing the point (which is that Vanilla Perl runs everywhere, including Windows[1]), this is also factually incorrect. A quick check of the ActiveState website would reveal ActivePerl downloads for AIX, Linux (x86 and x86-64), Solaris (x86, SPARC, and SPARC64), MacOSX (x86 and PPC), and source code, in addition to Windows. Looks pretty portable to me.
