getting the size of memory

Hi,

Does anyone know how to find the size of the memory of a computer that runs
under Win XP in a perl program?
Is it possible?

Thanks.

RE: getting the size of memory

I'd recommend using WMI.

Google "Scriptomatic" and you should get a download offering from
Microsoft.
It'll provide sample Perl code using Win32::OLE that you can tweak.

You can use WMI to dump out some memory statistics:
Win32_PhysicalMemory
Win32_PhysicalMemoryLocation
Win32_PhysicalMemoryArray
etc

or Win32::API to get GlobalMemoryStatus function.

I'll send code separately.
