DESCRIPTION

       Extracts and collects information from the host system.

METHODS

   new

       for more information.

   perl
       Returns the perl version in the version number format (i.e.: 5.8.8).  This is also true
       for legacy perls (i.e.: 5.005_03 will be 5.5.3)

   perl_build
       Returns the ActivePerl build number if code is used under Windows with ActivePerl. Returns

   perl_long
       This method is just a combination of "perl" & "perl_build".
