Dear Monks, I have to get some CPU informations independent (!) from OS. I saw many posts about that but I get a strange error and I hope you can help me.

What I do:

I get this Package http://search.cpan.org/~burak/Sys-Info-Base-0.7804/lib/Sys/Info/Device/CPU.pm and did what it's written about. I use cygwin. 
   
use Sys::Info;
use Sys::Info::Constants qw( :device_cpu );
use Sys::Info::Driver::Unknown::Device::CPU; # for cygwin (?)

my $info = Sys::Info->new;

# alternative 1 http://search.cpan.org/~burak/Sys-Info-Base-0.7804/lib
+/Sys/Info/Device/CPU.pm
my $cpu  = $info->device( CPU => %options ); #line 19

# alternative 2
$info->device( 'CPU' );

printf "CPU freq %s MHz\n", $cpu->speed; #line 22
printf "%d CPUs\n"  , $cpu->count ;

What I get:

# alternative 1
Global symbol "%options" requires explicit package name at pcData.pl l
+ine 19.
Execution of pcData.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

#alternative 2
Odd number of elements in hash assignment at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/
+5.14/Sys/Info/Driver/Unknown/Device/CPU/Env.pm line 26.
Use of uninitialized value $family in hash element at /usr/lib/perl5/s
+ite_perl/5.14/Sys/Info/Driver/Unknown/Device/CPU/Env.pm line 86.
Use of uninitialized value in printf at pcData.pl line 22.

What should I do?

Have someone a hint for me? What options in %options are possible and how I can/should configure it? What means the output in alternative 2? Is this a nice way or is there a nicer way to get this informations? I learned Perl 2-3 weeks ago so sorry for annoying you for this thing if it's a basic topic. :)
