Thanks Brian and Marcus.
$^O is exactly what I needed.

you want $^O, not an environment variable. take a look inside
CGI.pm for some example code. :)

Use the variable $^O which contains the name of the operating
system. It's "MSWin32" for Windows, for example.
if( $^O eq 'MSWin32' ) {
# ...
}
else {
# ...
}
Hope this helps.
