NAME
      Devel::Platform::Info - Unified framework for obtaining common platform
      metadata

SYNOPSIS
        use Devel::Platform::Info;
        my $info = Devel::Platform::Info->new();
        my $data = $info->get_info();

DESCRIPTION
      This module is a wrapper to the drivers which can determine platform
      metadata regarding the currently running operating system.

      The intention of this distribution is to provide key identifying compo-
      nents regarding the platform currently being used, for the CPAN Testers
      test reports. Currently the reports do not often contain enough infor-
      mation to help authors understand specific failures, where the platform
      may be a factor.

      However, it is hoped that this distribution will find more uses far
      beyond the usage for CPAN Testers.

INTERFACE
      The Constructor


      * new
          Simply constructs the object.

      Methods


      * get_info
          Returns a hash reference to the platform metadata.

          Returns at least the following keys:

            source
            archname
            osname
            osvers
            oslabel
            is32bit
            is64bit
            osflag

          Note that the 'source' key returns the commands and output used to
          obtain the metadata for possible future use.

          Further keys may be available to provide additional information if
          applicable to the specific operating system.
