The code that extracts the version starts with: if $test -f $uname; then set X $myuname shift The value of $uname is from uname -a lowercased by tr. The set X ... and shift set $1 etc to the space separated values from that (shift removed the "X") The code that I think ends up extracting the version on darwin is this fallback code: *) case "$osname" in '') : Still unknown. Probably a generic BSD. osname="$1" osvers="$3" ;; esac ;; For my system uname -a | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z' is: darwin pallas.tony.develop-help.com 17.7.0 darwin kernel version 17.7.0: wed apr 24 21:17:24 pdt 2019; root:xnu-4570.71.45~1/release_x86_64 x86_64 so $1 is "darwin" and $3 is 17.7.0 Maybe we'll need to add an extra guess to the list starting at : Half the following guesses are probably wrong... If you have better though I'm not sure what filename we'd check. Tony --- via perlbug: queue: perl5 status: new https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=134259Thread Previous
