There's probably a much easier way, but:
$ perl -wle'print for Win32::GetOSVersion'
Service Pack 1
5
1
2600
2
This reports:
Win32::GetOSVersion()
[CORE] Returns the list (STRING, MAJOR, MINOR, BUILD, ID), where
the elements are, respectively: An arbitrary descriptive string,
the major version number of the operating system, the minor ver-
sion number, the build number, and a digit indicating the actual
operating system. For the ID, the values are 0 for Win32s, 1 for
Windows 9X/Me and 2 for Windows NT/2000/XP/2003. In scalar con-
text it returns just the ID.
Currently known values for ID MAJOR and MINOR are as follows:
OS ID MAJOR MINOR
Win32s 0 - -
Windows 95 1 4 0
Windows 98 1 4 10
Windows Me 1 4 90
Windows NT 3.51 2 3 51
Windows NT 4 2 4 0
Windows 2000 2 5 0
Windows XP 2 5 1
Windows Server 2003 2 5 2
