basically I would only like to talk about the name of the module.
This seems more like a categorical problem with perl modules as
there seems to be no clearer definition how to name a certain
functionality. So why donīt you just name it Sysinfo::AIX?

Is this issue discussed elsewhere in detail (naming conventions
for perl modules)? In my opinion itīs desireable to have a maximum
portable solution, so there could be modules like Sysinfo::Linux
and so on, and someone could write a Sysinfo-Wrapper, which would then
delegate queries to the OS-specific modules or just returning some
kind of N/A.
