Caveats

The version of ixemul.library that comes with perl expects real Unix–style pathnames. Devices are denoted by a leading '/', previous directories are denoted by '..'. For example:
"/c/delete" in perl is the same as "C:delete" in AmigaDOS.
"../../doc" in perl is the same as "//doc" in AmigaDOS.
If you really hate this behavior (IMHO, it's a feature), you can reconfigure ixemul.library with the ixconfig stuff from the GCC distribution.

Another caveat is that many Unix perl scripts will expect certain standard Unix tools to exist. I suggest hunting down any Unix work-alike tools you can find and putting them in BIN:. If anyone comes up with a good set of freely distributable ones, let me know and maybe we can include them in future binary distributions.
