Hi Folks,

I need to develop a script where in i need to first check the type of OS
and
then go about in finding the drives.




pkraus@pkraus-laptop:~$ cat testperl.pl && perl testperl.pl
print "OS:$^O\n";
OS:linux
*$^O*

The name of the operating system under which this copy of Perl was built,
as determined during the configuration process. The value is identical to
$Config{'osname'}.
