Do you? Win32::SystemInfo works with user privileges. And the module is reading from the Registry too. Addendum: It is using a combination of Win32::TieRegistry and the GetSystemInfo function from Win32::API. Here's the relevant function. 
use Win32::SystemInfo;
use Data::Dumper;

my %phash;
Win32::SystemInfo::ProcessorInfo(%phash);
print Dumper (\%phash);
