Does anybody know a way i can get Perl to read the Total/In Use RAM Counters on a 64Bit Windows Server 2k3 with 8Gb+ Ram???
If you know of a Windows API function that returns the values you want, then you could access that function from perl using XS or Inline::C.
Obviously, on a 32-bit perl, such an XSub could not return a 'uv' (long) value, as 'uvs' aren't guaranteed to be large enough to store the value being returned. But you could have the XSub return the value to perl as an 'nv' (double) or a 'pv' (string).
On your 64-bit perl, the XSub could simply return the value as a 'uv' (since it uses 64-bit uvs).
I would expect that such a Windows API function does exist ... presumably the modules in question are accessing that Windows API function with Win32::API. Do you know which Windows API function(s) you need to access ?

Rob,
I was trying to use win32::SystemInfo, so dont know if you can pick the info out of that???
Source code is here: http://search.cpan.org/src/CJOHNSTON/Win32-SystemInfo-0.10/SystemInfo.pm
Any ideas?
Cheers
Gavin

Not knowing much and caring less, about Windoze, would parsing output from the perfmon command (if it exists on your host) be any use ??
Maybe it has a command mode that reports memory only ... or might that be a bit too useful ;-)
I don't have a Windoze m/c on which to try it ...
A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
