[sword-devel] Questions about usfm2osis.pl

[Chris Little]

Strawberry Perl advertises itself as "exactly the same as Perl 
everywhere else." If that's true, it will work fine with usfm2osis.pl. 
If it doesn't work, it's because something about Strawberry Perl is 
non-standard, so I'd be disinclined to expend any effort to support it.
