     $Is_SunOS   = $Is_SunOS4 || $Is_Solaris;
-    $Is_BSD     = $^O =~ /^(?:free|net|open)bsd$/ or
-                  $^O eq 'bsdos' or $^O eq 'interix' or $^O eq 'dragonfly';
+    $Is_BSD     = $^O =~ /^(?:(?:free|net|open)bsd|bsdos|interix|dragonfly)$/;

The former would never set $Is_BSD for 'bsdos', 'interix' and
'dragonfly' but only evaluate " $^O eq 'foo' " in void context.
