Re: Re: Using Perl to detect RAM amount

Well that's usefull information, thanks :-)

I just might have to do some real hunting. I have to ask myself how is such a thing done in other programming languages. I might end up poking around some source code for linux's "free" (if I can get it) or see if there's some way to get access to the BIOS from Perl. Haven't searched the CPAN for "BIOS" yet.

Look for "Firmware" as well if you intend to test memory on Macintosh or Sun machines. (BIOS is for x86 PC only) -- dominix	[reply]
