Devel::AssertOS - require that we are running on a particular OS
Devel::AssertOS is a utility module for Devel::CheckOS and
Devel::AssertOS::*. It is nothing but a magic import()
that lets you
do this:
use Devel::AssertOS qw(Linux FreeBSD Cygwin);
which will die unless the platform the code is running on is Linux, FreeBSD or Cygwin.
To assert that the OS is not a specific platform, prepend the platform name with a minus sign. For example, to run on anything but Amiga, do:
use Devel::AssertOS qw(-Amiga);
I welcome feedback about my code, including constructive criticism. Bug reports should be made using http://rt.cpan.org/ or by email.
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: http://www.cantrell.org.uk/david/wishlist/
$^O in the perlvar manpage
the Devel::AssertOS::Extending manpage
The use-devel-assertos script
the Module::Install::AssertOS manpage

Thanks to David Golden for suggesting that I add this utility module.
