DBD::WMI will only work on Windows, as it uses OLE Automation to talk to the WMI service. So you will need to run Windows inside a VM and install Perl and DBD::WMI in there in order to use it from Unix. I don't think there is any way to use WMI from Unix directly; you should be able to use SNMP for some (simple) monitoring of Windows machines though.
