Sys::CPU − Perl extension for getting CPU information. Currently only number of CPU’s supported.
use Sys::CPU;
$number_of_cpus = Sys::CPU::cpu_count();
printf("I have %d CPU's\n",$number_of_cpus);
print " Speed :
",Sys::CPU::cpu_clock(),"\n";
print " Type :
",Sys::CPU::cpu_type(),"\n";
In responce to a post on perlmonks.org, a module for counting the number of CPU’s on a system. Support has now also been added for type of CPU and clock speed. While much of the code is from UNIX::Processors, win32 support has been added (but not tested).
v0.45 − Corrected solaris support (Thanks Cloyce)
v0.60 − Added FreeBSD support (Thanks Johan & SREZIC) v0.61 − Fix test numbering issue
None by default.
