agarsha has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Does anyone know how to slurp a Windows box's %CPU usage (or if windows has a load-average like counter that would be even better) into a perl script. General information about obtaining Windows box utilization metrics with perl is of interest. Unix... check VMS... check Windows... ??? --adam

    See Win32::Perflib. It ain't easy to use, but you can get all the metrics you ever wanted and more with some effort.
