Sys::Facter Collect information (facts) about the operating system. This module is a wrapper over Pfacter CPAN module, which in turns mimics behaviour of Facter Ruby tool (http://puppetlabs.com/puppet/related-projects/facter/) The idea is to have a set of modules that detect various things about the host operating system, but also to easily extend this set by new, possibly user-written, modules. This is achieved through defining an API for additional plugins. Pfacter already does this, but it's quite troublesome to use directly in your own scripts. Pfacter also lacks a POD documentation, so you would need to dig through its code to write your own plugin. Sys::Facter solves both of these, while preserving compatibility with Pfacter.
