In my ant files, i have the following property definitions;

   <property name="windoze" value="Windows NT,Windows 2000,Windows 98"/>
   <property name="unix" value="Linux, SunOS, UNIX"/>

and implement running perl scripts within targets as follows (where 
p45.pp is your perl program/script of choice);

   <exec dir="${script.dir}" os="${unix}" executable="perl">
     <arg value="p45.pp"/>
     <arg value="${verbose}"/>
   </exec>
   <exec dir="${script.dir}" os="${windoze}" executable="perl.exe">
     <arg value="p45.pp"/>
     <arg value="${verbose}"/>
   </exec>

it'd be nice to find a comprehensive list of os id strings somewhere :-)

regards,

dave young.

It checks against System.getProperty("os.name").   There are probably many
variations of what it returns.

You can put this in one of your build.xml targets to determine the exact
string it returns on your system:

    <echo message="OS = ${os.name}"/>

On Windows 2k its returning "Windows 2000".
