in reply to Re^2: Finding OS Version
in thread Finding OS Version and Win2K8

I'm sorry that it didn't work right. I'm looking back at some of my other scripts. If I can find anything, I'll get back to you with it.

update: This worked for me on XP:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Sys::Info;

my $info = Sys::Info->new;
my $os   = $info->os;
printf "Operating System is %s\n", $os->long_name;

    Hi, that part of Sys::Info checks for OS version and returns the name if it knows it, returns a generic string otherwise. I'll release a new version soon to support that version of windows...
