$^O eq 'hpux' # on HP-UX $^O eq 'MSWin32' # on Windows $^O eq 'linux' # on Linux Hope this helps, -- Marcus | I need to find out which OS I am on - | It would be nice to know: | Ref Hiat | Mandrake | Slackware | W2K | W98 | WME | WXP | Solaris | AIX, etc | | but | | Unix | Linux | W32 | | | is fine also.... | | How can I do this??? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
