recommended perl modules for system info.
I am doing some bespoke nagios plugins.

can anyone recommend any good perl modules
for system checks.
disks, memory, processes, load avgs, networks, etc etc. everything basically.

they will need to perform on bsd, aix, solaris, linux.

any recommendations?

There are no universal system modules, because a lot of system information api's like prstat are specific to one or at best a few platforms. Is that what you are asking?

You will have to build custom versions of your code with .pm "include" files specific for each implementation. ie. perl -I /path/to/aix.pm

Instead of wasting your time asking here , you'd better check out things at CPAN
