You can't.How to get the OS type from the IPAddress or Hostname ?
If you want the OS of the system where the script is running, that's stored in the $^O var.
Example:
C:\>perl -e "print $^O"

IP Address and Hostname are OS independent. There is no way to really tell what OS they are linked/assigned to. To tell that, you would either have to be at the machine the IP is assigned to or, when it connects to your website, have a look at the HTTP headers as it is stored in there.
