if ($OS eq "MSWin32")

That has always worked fine for the last 25 years that I've been using perl.
However, I don't assume that it will work as expected forever.
But then I also don't want to guess at what might be needed if the osname is changed.

I'm still waiting to see if Strawberry comes out with a perl 5.32 or perl 7.xx

Recent posts by kmx indicate that he has started work on the next release - see this github thread for example.
I expect it will be perl-5.32.0, though this has not been explicitly stated any place that I know of.

Cheers,
Rob

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
