format command is good for Solaris\ but not supported by Linux as far as I know (at least for ubuntu), Linux also has a good commnad fdisk, but I don't know how to use get information about HDD in my system. I tried this:

fdisk -l /dev/sda1

Disk /dev/sda1: 11.5 GB, 11531810304 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

This doesn't look like a partition table
Probably you selected the wrong device.

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1p1 ? 13578 119522 850995205 72 Unknown
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda1p2 ? 45382 79243 271987362 74 Unknown
Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda1p3 ? 10499 10499 0 65 Novell Netware 386
Partition 3 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda1p4 167628 167631 25817+ 0 Empty
Partition 4 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Partition table entries are not in disk order

linux::distribution::packages

Linux::Distribution::Packages(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation			Linux::Distribution::Packages(3pm)

NAME

       Linux::Distribution::Packages - list all packages on various Linux distributions

SYNOPSIS

	 use Linux::Distribution::Packages qw(distribution_packages distribution_write);

	 $linux = new Linux::Distribution::Packages({'format' => 'csv', 'output_file' => 'packages.csv'});
	 $linux->distribution_write();

	 # Or you can (re)set the options when you write.
	 $linux->distribution_write({'format' => 'xml', 'output_file' => 'packages.xml'});

	 # If you want to reload the package data
	 $linux->distribution_packages();

DESCRIPTION

       This is a simple module that uses Linux::Distribution to guess the linux distribution and then uses the correct commands to list all the
       packages on the system and then output them in one of three formats:  native, csv, and xml.

       Distributions currently working:  debian, ubuntu, fedora, redhat, suse, gentoo, slackware, redflag.

       The module inherits from Linux::Distribution, so can also use its calls.

   EXPORT
       None by default.

TODO

       * Add the capability to correctly get packages for all recognized distributions.  * Seperate out parsing from writing.  Parse data to hash
       and give access to hash.  Then write the formatted data from the hash.
