[perl #41597] [PATCH] replacing explicit access to $^O in Configure

[James Keenan via RT]

The intent of Aldo's patch is even closer than I first thought to what I
proposed last night ... as is evident from this question:

For a given instance of perl on a given OS, can I assume that the two
commands below will *always* produce the same output?

[parrot] 506 $ perl -MConfig -le 'print $Config{osname}'
darwin
[parrot] 507 $ perl -le 'print $^O'
darwin

In other words, does $Config{osname} simply record the content of $^O
for a given platform?

Thank you very much.
