NAME

6       Devel::AssertOS - require that we are running on a particular OS
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Devel::AssertOS is a utility module for Devel::CheckOS and
10       Devel::AssertOS::*.  It is nothing but a magic import() that lets you
11       do this:
12
13           use Devel::AssertOS qw(Linux FreeBSD Cygwin);
14
15       which will die unless the platform the code is running on is Linux,
16       FreeBSD or Cygwin.
17
18       To assert that the OS is not a specific platform, prepend the platform
19       name with a minus sign. For example, to run on anything but Amiga, do:
20
21           use Devel::AssertOS qw(-Amiga);
22

BUGS and FEEDBACK

24       I welcome feedback about my code, including constructive criticism.
25       Bug reports should be made using
26       <https://github.com/DrHyde/perl-modules-Devel-CheckOS/issues>.
27
28       You will need to include in your bug report the exact value of $^O,
29       what the OS is called (eg Windows Vista 64 bit Ultimate Home Edition),
30       and, if relevant, what "OS family" it should be in and who wrote it.
31
32       If you are feeling particularly generous you can encourage me in my
33       open source endeavours by buying me something from my wishlist:
