NAME

Devel::FakeOSName - Make Perl think it runs on a different OS

SYNOPSIS

  # build us Makefile for aix
  perl -MDevel::FakeOSName=aix Makefile.PL

DESCRIPTION

Sometimes your code includes code specific to an OS that you don't have an access to, but you want to see what happens if it was to run on that other OS.

Currently mostly useful for looking at generated Makefiles. Needs much more work to be really useful.

TODO

Currently the module just modifies $^O and $Config{osname}. Could probably somehow supply overrides for other %Config::Config values and ExtUtils::Embed.

Patches are welcome.

To install Devel::FakeOSName, copy and paste the appropriate command in to your terminal.

cpanm

cpanm Devel::FakeOSName

CPAN shell

perl -MCPAN -e shell
