Information about the package, perl-Perl-OSType, which is shipped with common Linux distributions. The perl-Perl-OSType package is designed for, Map Perl operating system names to generic types.
Package Name:
perl-Perl-OSType
Summary:
Map Perl operating system names to generic types
Description:
Modules that provide OS-specific behaviors often need to know if the current operating system matches a more generic type of operating systems. For example, 'linux' is a type of 'Unix' operating system and so is 'freebsd'. This module provides a mapping between an operating system name as given by $^O and a more generic type. The initial version is based on the OS type mappings provided in Module::Build and ExtUtils::CBuilder (thus, Microsoft operating systems are given the type 'Windows' rather than 'Win32').
