Hello Monks,

I' rather skeptical about this... and didn't find anything searching... some monk probably knows more...

Within an OS400 PASE environment, how can I determine that the architecture is actually OS400?

For example.... 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use Config;

my $os = $^O;
my $config = $Config{'archname'};

print "OS -> $os\n";
print "Config -> $config\n";

Output of the program is: 
OS -> aix
Config -> aix

[download]
So.... on an actual AIX host, the program outputs: 
OS -> aix
Config -> aix-thread-multi

[download]
If I'm not mistaken, PASE is supposed to emulate the AIX environment for OS400. So... is it safe to assume that the output of $Config{'archname'} on OS400 is valid, i.e. can it be stated that anytime that output is aix, it's not AIX architecture but OS400?

Update:Corrected spelling in title.
