Checking the Platform in Perl

[mariakvelasco]

Hello all,

Is there a way using perl code to check what platform the script is
running on? I have a script that runs on both windows and unix
platforms and I want to check what platform the script is running on
because I will be executing different sections of the code depending
on the platform.

Thanks!
