renamed before they can be processed by Perl. Note that VOS limits
file names to 32 or fewer characters.
-Perl on VOS can be built using two different compilers and two different
-versions of the POSIX runtime. The recommended method for building full
-Perl is with the GNU C compiler and the generally-available version of
-VOS POSIX support. See F<README.vos> (installed as L<perlvos>) for
-restrictions that apply when Perl is built using the VOS Standard C
-compiler or the alpha version of VOS POSIX support.
-
The value of C<$^O> on VOS is "VOS". To determine the architecture that
you are running on without resorting to loading all of C<%Config> you
can examine the content of the @INC array like so:
die;
}
- if (grep(/860/, @INC)) {
- print "This box is a Stratus XA/R!\n";
-
- } elsif (grep(/7100/, @INC)) {
- print "This box is a Stratus HP 7100 or 8xxx!\n";
-
- } elsif (grep(/8000/, @INC)) {
- print "This box is a Stratus HP 8xxx!\n";
-
- } else {
- print "This box is a Stratus 68K!\n";
- }

services for OS/390" (formerly known as OpenEdition), VM/ESA OpenEdition, or
the BS200 POSIX-BC system (BS2000 is supported in perl 5.6 and greater).

+See L<perlos390> for details. Note that for OS/400 there is also a port of
+Perl 5.8.1/5.9.0 or later to the PASE which is ASCII-based (as opposed to

As of R2.5 of USS for OS/390 and Version 2.3 of VM/ESA these Unix
sub-systems do not support the C<#!> shebang trick for script invocation.
