in thread $^O empty in windows powershell

I think eyepops will soon come up with an older discussion about the Perl trying to cleverly fix CMD idiosyncrasies

LanX, I'm also out of my depth here, and have no desire to become an expert in fixing CMD idiosyncrasies ... generally, I try to avoid the shell as much as possible and do everything in Perl. :) I think you may be waiting for ikegami, who seems to be our Windows shell master.

For some light relief, I did find a couple of links though:

    > generally, I try to avoid the shell as much as possible and do everything in Perl. :

    best compromise would be a consistent Perl shell running on all platforms! :)

    Well, yeah. He might know if and how PS differs.
