Bob, I appreciate your feed back but you clearly don't understand.
The perl script I'll be running will be executed only from one Location and that is from my laptop. I'll be connected to a network In which the script will be using Net::Telnet module to communicate To the other systems. No need to put any scripts on any other machine Period!!!! So the $^O variable will only work if you run A PERL SCRIPT on that System. The purpose of the script is to discover what systems are on A given network. Again I don't need to run perl on multiple machines. That will totally Defeat the purpose of the scripts. If you don't know about CPAN then Look at http://www.cpan.org. That is where I got the Net::Telnet module from.

The $^O variable indicates the platform on which the currently executing version of perl was built. If you're running Perl on a different platform from the one where it was built then I don't think it's likely to work too well! Does anybody know different?
