Here's something to get you started: 

use strict;
use Win32::OLE qw(in);

my $host = 'serverABC';
my $username = 'adminaccount';
my $password = 'secret';

my $WMI = Win32::OLE->new('WbemScripting.SWbemLocator');
my $WMIServices = $WMI->ConnectServer($host, 'root/cimv2', $username, 
+$password)
    or die ("Could not connect to $host");

$WMIServices->{Security_}->{ImpersonationLevel} = 3;

my $os_set = $WMIServices->InstancesOf("Win32_OperatingSystem");

my ($os_name, $os_version, $os_sp);

foreach my $os (in($os_set)) {
    $os_name    = $os->{'Caption'};
    $os_version    = $os->{'Version'};
    $os_sp        = $os->{'CSDVersion'};
}

print "OS = $os_name $os_version $os_sp\n";
