=head1 PLATFORMS SUPPORTED

To see the list of platforms for which information is available, run this:

    perl -MDevel::CheckOS -e 'print join(", ", Devel::CheckOS::list_platforms())'

Note that capitalisation is important.  These are the names of the
underlying Devel::AssertOS::* modules
which do the actual platform detection, so they have to
be 'legal' filenames and module names, which unfortunately precludes
funny characters, so platforms like OS/2 are mis-spelt deliberately.
Sorry.

Also be aware that not all of them have been properly tested.  I don't
have access to most of them and have had to work from information
gleaned from L<perlport> and a few other places.  For a complete list of
OS families, see L<Devel::CheckOS::Families>.

If you want to add your own OSes or families, see L<Devel::AssertOS::Extending>
and please feel free to upload the results to the CPAN.

=head1 BUGS and FEEDBACK

I welcome feedback about my code, including constructive criticism.
Bug reports should be made using L<https://github.com/DrHyde/perl-modules-Devel-CheckOS/issues>.

You will need to include in your bug report the exact value of $^O, what
the OS is called (eg Windows Vista 64 bit Ultimate Home Edition), and,
if relevant, what "OS family" it should be in and who wrote it.

If you are feeling particularly generous you can encourage me in my
open source endeavours by buying me something from my wishlist:
