Re: how to recognize windows and linux os

Another option is to forget OS detection and just look for the files.

open (FH, 'c:/snmpauto') || 
# I don't know Windows so this path syntax may be off
open (FH, '/root/snmpauto') || 
die (q(Couldn't open the file!));

That would require trusting the user. From the locations where he's chosen to put these files, I take it only the system administrator is supposed to be able to alter the contents of them. (I still would have put it under /etc rather than /root though.)	[reply]
