NAME

Config::MachineInfo - The great new Config::MachineInfo!

SYNOPSIS

Config::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 Config::MachineInfo;

my $foo = Config::MachineInfo->new();
...
