sanPerl has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Dear Monks,
I want to develop a program which would scan a PC and tell what Softwares are installed on the said PC. In Windows the ‘Add/Remove Programs’ options shows you list of Installed Softwares, I would like perl script to detect those softwares. Once I get the software names then I can put them in whatever format I want.
I would appreciate all kinds of suggestions/hints/clues/guidance regarding this requirement.
Thanks & Regards, Sandeep Deshpande
