    Ah - this would explain the confusion then. I was talking about ActiveState Perl for Windows, to be run under Wine. The OP seems to have installed ActiveState Perl for Linux, which can't use Win32::OLE for the (to me) obvious reason that Win32::OLE can only work on Windows or maybe on a Windowss emulator.

      So is there no way that we can monitor windows processes using WMI technology from linux ?

      Can you suggest me some good material ( site ) where I can get information on CIM

      Thanks,

        In DBD::WMI, I have a long list of relevant resources. Maybe you want to read that list. I don't use Linux for monitoring Windows systems, but there are complete system management solutions even for Linux so I assume that these will somehow accomplish their task.
