NAME
Parse::DMIDecode - Interface to SMBIOS under Linux using dmidecode
SYNOPSIS
use strict;
use Parse::DMIDecode ();
my $decoder = new Parse::DMIDecode;
$decoder->probe; # Actively probe using dmidecode
# Manually supply your own dmidecode output to be parsed
# $decoder->parse(qx(sudo /usr/sbin/dmidecode));
printf("System: %s, %s",
$decoder->keyword("system-manufacturer"),
$decoder->keyword("system-product-name"),
);DESCRIPTION
This module provides an OO interface to SMBIOS information through the dmidecode command which is known to work under a number of Linux, BSD and BeOS variants.
This module is still actively under development, is no not yet feature complete and still needs to be fully documented. There is a possibility accessor method names may change before the final release.
