NAME Perl::osnames - List possible ${}^O(^O\; ($OSNAME) values, with description

VERSION This document describes version 0.11 of Perl::osnames (from Perl distribution Perl-osnames), released on 2014-12-19.

DESCRIPTION This package contains $datawhichlistspossiblevaluesofdata\; which\; lists\; possible\; values\; of$^O along with description for each. It also provides some helper functions.

Tags * unix

    Unix-like operating systems. This currently excludes beos/haiku.

*   bsd

    BSD-derived Unix operating systems.

*   sysv

    SysV-derived Unix operating systems.

*   posix

    For POSIX-compliant OSes, including fully-, mostly-, and
    largely-compliant ones (source:
    <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX>).

    From what I can gather, dec_osf is not POSIX compliant, although
    there is a posix package for it.

VARIABLES None are exported by default, but they are exportable.

$data An arrayref of records (arrayrefs), each structured as:

 [$name, \@tags, $description]

FUNCTIONS None are exported by default, but they are exportable.

Will return 0, 1, or undef if $os is unknown.

Will return 0, 1, or undef if $os is unknown.

Config

Perl::OSType, a core module. You should probably use this module
instead. Currently the difference between this module and Perl::osnames:
1) Perl::osnames currently doesn't list beos/haiku as Unix, but POSIX;
2) Perl::osnames provides more tags (like sysv, bsd, posix) and
description.

Devel::Platform::Info

The output of "perl -V"

App::osnames, the original reason for Perl::osnames. With this CLI tool
you can grep OS names by name, tag, or description, e.g. "osnames
solaris" or "osnames posix".
