OS version

I have written a module called Sys::Uname that does this. It’s an extension
based on the uname command, and it’s available on the RAA. Your other
alternative is to use the output of a system call.

The above applies to *nix only. I don’t how to do it in Windows.

Regards,

Dan

One way is:

winos = ver

That variable is supposed to be
“win OS” not the plural of wino.

You could test for ENV[“windir”] or ENV[“COMSPEC”] on Win98, at least.

Not sure about WinNT or Win2K.
