In the Unix world with PHP, you can do OS fingerprinting by calling
a system tool such as nmap (option: -O),
but this require root privileges, and
is not always perceived as well-behaviour by sysadmins.
Or you can do everything you want with PHP sockets.
I guess Netcraft use OS fingerprinting tool like nmap
above their 'HEAD /' http requests.
And ok, I wont post Perl things anymore ;-)
