Good point! ++jeffa
The original had three cases:
Other Win32s
Win9x
WinNT

While this is definately better than the original, it still requires some work.
Update: Due to misunderstanding, I will post the original code.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32;

my $os;
my ($string, $major, $minor, $build, $id) = Win32::GetOSVersion();
$os = "Unknown Win32s flavor" if ($id == 0);
$os = "Win9x" if ($id == 1);
$os = "WinNT" if ($id == 2);

print "$os, version $major.$minor\n";

Who says that programmers can't work in the Marketing Department?
Or is that who says that Marketing people can't program?
