Since you won't be bothered with Sys::Info, it looks like you have a better cross-platform module set to query such information. Please share the name and I'll stop wasting my time in it.

Hm. Why would my preferences mean that you are wasting your time?

As for why I wouldn't use your module:

  1. I have no use for a cross-platform solution.
  2. I don't use pseud-OO modules that force me to create an instance of things for which there is inherently never any point in creating two instances.
  3. I wouldn't use a module that queries information via WinMgmts and/or Win::OLE that can more easily be queried directly from the OS.

But those are my preferences. They do not affect the utility of your module for you -- or others.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
