Hi monks,

I am having trouble getting the OS NT, Vista and Windows 7

This is how a portion of my code looks

($string, $major, $minor, $osbuild, $id) = Win32::GetOSVersion ();

 $os = "";
 if ($DEBUG >= 2)
 {  print "ID = $id\n"; }
 if ($id == 0)
 {  print "Unable to determine win32s!"; }

 $os = {
      1 => {
          0  => "95",
          10 => "98",
          90 => "Me"
      },
      2 => {
          0  => "2000",
          1  => "XP/.Net",
          2  => "Server 2003",
          51 => "NT3.51"
      }
  }->{$id}->{$minor};

how can i get Oses NT 4 and Vista when they have the same minor and id with 2000, Also does the functionality supports Windows 7 OS?

second problem is i have to split the result into two. I need to compare the result to update a file to all Oses under $major <= 4, While the other split will depend on $major >=5 in which a different file is processed for the remaning Oses

Im really confused of what flow i have to implement. much thanks
