Hello

Currently CPAN::Reporter sends version from Config.pm, i.e. version on
where perl was built. For Windows it is frequently does not match
current version of OS. Right version is sent too, but it is sent in
text field along with test results:
   Win32::GetOSName = Win7
   Win32::GetOSVersion = Service Pack 1, 6, 1, 7601, 2, 1, 0, 768, 1

See for ex. 
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/3cce8d4f-6bfa-1014-b32d-89177c6163c8

And there are ActivePerl and CitrusPerl distributions for Linux that
may have similar problem
Cygwin is even more compex - there is version of Windows and version of Cygwin.

I propose to detect OS version at runtime at least for Windows.

P.S. We can detect Linux distribution name with Linux::Distribution
and send it too
