I am not sure that I understood what you need but maybe Sys::Filesystem fits your needs.

Update:
After you specified your question this could be helpful
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
#
use strict;

my $partitions = `hdparm -i /dev/hda|grep Model`;
my ($model,$firmware,$serial_no)=split /,/,$partitions;
my @model = split /=/,$model;
my @serial_no=split /=/,$serial_no;
my @firmware=split /=/,$firmware;

print "Model = $model[1]\tFirmware=$firmware[1]\tSerial No=$serial_no[
+1]\n";

The script must be run with root priviliges. If you use sudo you can use
my $partitions = `sudo hdparm -i /dev/hda|grep Model`;
