Most revered monks, according to http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/archive/smartdrv.mspx it should be possible to extract SMART drive info by using WMI. However, I can't figure out how exactly to go about it. This is what I've come up with so far: 
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE qw( in );

my $WMIServices;
my $Machine = ".";

$WMIServices = Win32::OLE->GetObject( "winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=
        impersonate,(security)}//".$Machine );

my $res = $WMIServices->ExecQuery("select * from MMStorageDriver_Failu
+rePredictData");

foreach (keys %$res)
{
    print "$_\n";
}

which outputs 
Count
Security_

It seems to me that WMI resources tend to have keys in the hash which don't show up in a 'foreach (keys %$foo)' - is this correct? And if so, is there any way to extract these keys? I've been unable to find out which ones WMI provides for SMART info. Thanks
