NAME

FTN::OS_features - an auxiliary module for FTN::Forum and FTN::Pkt

DESCRIPTION

This module detects some features of your Operating System. Two variables are exported.

$needs_binmode: Boolean. True if this OS differ binary and text files (e.g. Windows), false otherwise (e.g. UNIX).
$dir_separator: String. A char to separate directories in a path.

NOTES

I wonder if it will work correctly on MacOS X which is actually UNIX but may be labeled as 'MacOS'. Unfortunately I don't know what is $Config::Config{'osname'} in MacOS X.
