That looks painful. Why not just use one of these?

uname has the nice advantage of apparently existing on every version of
Unix I'm aware of (or at least, every one that I've tried), and it even
seems to support the same command line switches. (Doesn't give you your
OSX version number though -- sw_vers is the best for that.) Another good
more-or-less portable one is just "perl -V", which gives a lot of system
configuration data in addition to info about Perl itself. (But again, it
doesn't know what version of OSX...).
