Detect Ubuntu using perl

Question

I am working on a perl script that must write configuration file. I need to know if the script is running on Ubuntu to set some Ubuntu-specific values (basically, disable the unified bar). The script cannot require any Perl packages that may not be present on user system.

How can I check if the system is Ubuntu or some other Linux distro?

Answer 1

You can check contents of the /etc/lsb-release file.
