It is there, c:\cygwin\bin\env.exe, and it works the same. Other
Windows users could have .pl associated to an application, which would
run it anyway.



As for the first question, you can use

if ($^O =~ "Linux") {}

or ($^O eq /Windows/) {}. $^O, with a letter oh not a number zero,
holds the OS name.
