v5.40.0: The results of Win32::GetOSName on Windows 11 are displayed as if it were Windows 10

Hello,

I have run perl -MWin32 -e "print Win32::GetOSName" on a Windows 11 PC.
The results are displayed as if it were Windows 10.
See below.

Thank you,

I get the same on my Win11 laptop, except the build is 22621. However, looking at more of the Get-ComputerInfo details indicates this is working correctly.

WindowsProductName                                      : Windows 10 Enterprise
OsName                                                  : Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise
OsVersion                                               : 10.0.22621

Thank you for reply.

I thought that if pull requests like perl-libwin32/win32#40 were applied on the Win32 module side, the results would be different.
I would wait for the Win32 module maintainer to incorporate such a pull request.

Thank you,

We do patch some CPAN modules but more commonly in cases where they otherwise do not build due to changes in Perl.

In this case the issue is best handled upstream by the module maintainer.

I'll close this issue now but please comment if there are reasons for it to remain open.
