Hello fellow monks,

Using 

    use Config;
    $PLATFORM = $Config{'osname'};

    # and

    my @OS_VER = Win32::GetOSVersion;

[download]

'osname' is used to determine what flavor of OS I am on MSWin32, solaris, linux, etc. as I am working on every platform out there.

My question is: How do I differentiate between .NET Enterprise Server and Windows 2003 server when I get back verion 5.2 from Win32::GetOSVersion. (see chart)

Is there anything else out there I can use?

Thank you :)
