I'd recommend rewriting config.h before you compile perl under GNV, later you could modify the Configure script itself to recognize GNV as a distinct osname. Here for example is how perl 5.8.1 is built to recognize VMS: $ search PERL_ROOT:[LIB.VMS_AXP.5_8_1.CORE]config.h osname /* OSNAME: #define OSNAME "VMS" /**/ Of course changing that and recompiling does not give you the flexibility of a symbol or logical that you requested. However there is precedent for such a distinct setting of $^O. Namely the Windows native port calls itself 'MSWin32' whereas the cygwin (GNU/bash et al) environment calls itself 'cygwin' in perl's $^O variable. Peter Prymmer
