Re: Get version of installed OS

in reply to Get version of installed OS

Perhaps this does what you want, it uses Config which is core. Tested on Windows, Solaris and netbsd:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Config;

print "$Config{osname}\n";
print "$Config{archname}\n";
print "$Config{osvers}\n";

Output:

MSWin32
MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
5.1

Thanks.... One another way to get specially for windows is

my $osname = Win32::GetOSName();
my ( $osvername, $major, $minor, $id ) = Win32::GetOSVersion();
 
print "osname: $osname\n";
print "osvername: $osvername\n";
print "major: $major\n";
print "minor: $minor\n";
print "id: $id\n";

True, though you didn't specify which OS you were using when you posted the question ;)

Update: I see you've just changed your question to specify OS. It'd make more sense if you'd posted that as an update to your post, like I've done here.
