Yeah, I thought of that. I was hoping for a platform independent mechanism.
If not, then I can use this type of methodology, but how do I account for
Windows based machines?

You could either use `mem` or the Win32::SystemInfo module on windoze.

If you can access /proc/meminfo on the linux (you didn't specify..) boxes you can read that instead of spawning a process.
