ooopss!! i was wrong ... $^O worked....
According to "perldoc perlvar" :
$^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'}.
I thought perl2exe won't be able to use $^O because the copy of the Perl
won't be available during run time
But it worked....i don't know how....
Any ideas???
Thanks Timothy.
