Just a minor comment: The sh module looks intersting, but it's not
supported for Windows platforms.

Please note: I'm not the original poster, so perhaps this is no issue
for him.

"The X module looks interesting but it's not supported for Windows" is
true for many values of X. It's all part of the TCO of using a
brain-dead operating system.

If I write server side code, then I choose my server and my OS, so I
won't encounter Windows

Unfortunately most the customers won't let me choose their client
hardware / client OS.

Thus I decide to write my applications cross platform whenever possible
and try to choose libraries accordingly.

The other alternative is to chose your customers better :-)
