This Perl script determine information about the installed OS, computer name, processor, RAM, Hard Drives, and computer network settings.

Perl WinInfo.pl > output.txt

This will save the output of the script to a file called Perl script.txt.

How to show cpu information using perl

The name of the operating system is contained within the "$^O" variable.

print "$^On"

will print "linux" on Linux, "MSWin32" on Windows and "darwin" on Mac OS X.

You can also use the "Config" module:

use Config;

print "$Config{osname}n";

print "$Config{archname}n";

Note that this will display information about the system Perl was built on, rather than the one it is currently running on.
