In what way? What's "a code" from the Windows environment?

MySQL is, as far as I can recall, case insensitive to commands: "select" works 
as well as "SELECT". The DB names are case insensitive too, I think. I could 
be wrong on that one - they're just filenames after all, so you could rename 
them if you hit a problem.

Obviously Perl code etc. is the same on both platforms. Or perhaps you mean a 
shell script from the weird UNIX-on-Windows botch Microsoft tout as a 
solution?

Generally it's not possible, as far as I know, to make anything on Linux which 
is case sensitive case insensitive. Knowing quite what you're trying to do 
would help me be more specific.
