learning UNIX on a Windows 2000 machine?
What is the best way to learn UNIX, shell, and Perl on a Windows 2000 machine? My place of employment uses Solaris and Perl and I would like to learn some UNIX skills on my home PC.
I read about "dual boots", "Microsoft Windows Services for UNIX", and "cygwin". What other free options are there? Which would you recommend for learning UNIX and Perl?
If somebody could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.

net::ldapi
Net::LDAPI(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::LDAPI(3)
NAME
Net::LDAPI - use LDAP over a UNIX domain socket
SYNOPSIS
use Net::LDAPI;
$ldapi = Net::LDAPI->new('/var/run/ldapi');
# alternate way
use Net::LDAP;
$ldapi = Net::LDAP->new('ldapi://');
DESCRIPTION
Communicate using the LDAP protocol to a directory server using a UNIX domain socket. This mechanism is non-standard, UNIX-specific and not
widely supported.
All the normal "Net::LDAP" methods can be used with a "Net::LDAPI" object; see Net::LDAP for details.
CONSTRUCTOR
new ( [SOCKPATH] )
Create a new connection. SOCKPATH can optionally be specified, to specify the location of the UNIX domain socket to connect to.
If SOCKPATH is not given, the environment variable "LDAPI_SOCK" is evaluated, and if that does not exist, the value "/var/run/ldapi" is
used.
See "new" in Net::LDAP for further details.
SEE ALSO
Net::LDAP, IO::Socket::UNIX
