I think this is going to wind up being machine dependant.
Solaris
Solaris::Procfs -- reads the /proc filesystem
Linux
GTop -- interfaces with libgtop (which reads the /proc filesystem)
windows
Win32::SystemInfo
There are almost certainly others. Most Unix boxen store this info in
the /proc filesystem (however, they do so in completely different ways),
so look for modules that read the /proc for your system.
