NAME
Probe::MachineInfo - The great new Probe::MachineInfo!
SYNOPSIS
Probe::MachineInfo aims to be a set of collector/probe classes which
allow the extraction of information about the configuration of a
machine. For example the number of CPUs it has and how much memory it
has.
This release is really just a taster release of what's to come. The
architecture may change quite a lot. At the moment there is a bit of a
Unix bias because that's the type of operating system that I do almost
all of my real work on. However I also hope to add support for Windows
hosts at some earlyish stage.
Quick summary of what the module does.
Perhaps a little code snippet.
use Probe::MachineInfo;
my $foo = Probe::MachineInfo->new();
