Detail

It seems to be duplicate define in "twiki/bin/configure" line 288-294:

unless ( $TWiki::cfg{DetailedOS} ) { 
  $TWiki::cfg{DetailedOS} = $^O; 
  unless ( $TWiki::cfg{DetailedOS} ) { 
    require Config; 
    $TWiki::cfg{DetailedOS} = $Config::Config{osname}; 
  } 
}

First, one "unless" statement is enough to this case; second, " $^O" is identical to $Config{'osname'}, I don't think need another $Config::Config{osname}. And according to the CPAN Config page, perhaps use $Config{'osname'} is better than "$Config::Config{osname}" though they will return the same resule. Here is my suggestion:

unless ( $TWiki::cfg{DetailedOS} ) { 
  $TWiki::cfg{DetailedOS} = $^O; 
}

Thanks,

Phillip

Not sure if we can drop the second check. TWiki (and Perl) runs on many different platforms and versions. There was probably a reason to have the double check with fallback.

-- TWiki:Main.PeterThoeny - 2011-08-19

The only case where this can happen is if Perls $^O returns undef, a null string, or 0. If Perl is properly built and ported, it cant happen. This seems unlikely (and I wouldn't code it this way). But it's harmless - and not worth the trouble of making the edit and testing.

I'm closing 'no action required'.
