Perl Operating System Sanity Checking

[flawless69]

I'm developing a script which is to run on both UNIX and W2K. I need the script to be able to determine which system it is running on and then execute relevant code. Is there a simple, clean way of determining what OS the script is running under?

$^O contains the "os"
mswin32 is the value for windows ---------------------------------------

someone else knowledge starts
