NAME
Perl::osnames - List possible $^O ($OSNAME) values, with description
VERSION
This document describes version 0.122 of Perl::osnames (from Perl distribution Perl-osnames), released on 2020-02-13.
DESCRIPTION
This package contains $data which lists possible values of $^O along with description for each. It also provides some helper functions.
Tags
unix
Unix-like operating systems. This currently excludes beos/haiku.
bsd
BSD-derived Unix operating systems.
sysv
SysV-derived Unix operating systems.
posix
For POSIX-compliant OSes, including fully-, mostly-, and largely-compliant ones (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX).
From what I can gather, dec_osf is not POSIX compliant, although there is a posix package for it.
VARIABLES
None are exported by default, but they are exportable.
$data
An arrayref of records (arrayrefs), each structured as:
[$name, \@tags, $description]$RE_OS_IS_KNOWN
Current value:
qr/\A(?:aix|amigaos|android|bsdos|beos|bitrig|dgux|dos|dynixptx|cygwin|darwin|dec_osf|dragonfly|freebsd|gnu|gnukfreebsd|haiku|hpux|interix|iphoneos|irix|linux|MacOS|machten|midnightbsd|minix|mirbsd|mpeix|msys|MSWin32|netbsd|next|nto|openbsd|os2|os390|os400|posix-bc|qnx|riscos|sco|sco_sv|solaris|sunos|svr4|svr5|unicos|unicosmk|vmesa|VMS|vos)\z/$RE_OS_IS_POSIX

None are exported by default, but they are exportable.
is_posix([ $os ]) => bool
Check whether $os (defaults to $^O if not specified) is POSIX (checked by the existence of posix tag on the OS's record in $data). Will return 0, 1, or undef if $os is unknown.
is_unix([ $os ]) => bool
Check whether $os (defaults to $^O if not specified) is Unix (checked by the existence of unix tag on the OS's record in $data). Will return 0, 1, or undef if $os is unknown.

BUGS
Please report any bugs or feature requests on the bugtracker website https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Perl-osnames
When submitting a bug or request, please include a test-file or a patch to an existing test-file that illustrates the bug or desired feature.
SEE ALSO
Perl::OSType, a core module. You should probably use this module instead. Currently the difference between this module and Perl::osnames: 1) Perl::osnames currently doesn't list beos/haiku as Unix, but POSIX; 2) Perl::osnames provides more tags (like sysv, bsd, posix) and description.
The output of perl -V
App::osnames, the original reason for Perl::osnames. With this CLI tool you can grep OS names by name, tag, or description, e.g. osnames solaris or osnames posix.
