in reply to CPU usage on winxp

perhaps Sys::CPU or Test::Smoke::SysInfo can help.

update
or even better: Win32::SystemInfo

    Win32::SystemInfo has too many Caveats and is no where near tested enough on modern systems with modern Operating Systems. You may be able to throw something together if you study the module itself but I would not use it in any stable production.

      I realize I'm coming into this discussion a bit late, but I felt I needed to chime in. (I'm the author of Win32::SystemInfo.)

      The Caveats section is large because they come directly from the Win32 MSDN documentation. I felt it necessary to provide this information to users of the module.

      I agree that I haven't tested the module as extensively as I would like. However, there are quite a few people who do use the module so I'd wager that it has seen use on most "modern systems with modern Operating Systems".

      I do have to take issue with the statement about not using the module in "stable production". I see no reason why this statement should be true. The module has evolved quite a bit since 2005 and I'd like to think that stability is something that has only increased over time.

    Sys::CPU is only for BSD and Linux based platforms. The OP explained they needed something for Windows XP.

      From cpan: win32 support has been added (but not tested).

      Next the OP wanted to figure out on how to do it, a cpan module (working or not) can help by looking at the source.

      Since the OP did not provide any sign of effort (what he has tried, or which direction he's thinking), i point to the most logic place to start searching for it

      update anyway, i've found a better perl module on cpan, that would suit all needs
