Hi.
I use Sys::Meminfo in a statistics script, that works on various OSes,
including Linux, NetBSD and FreeBSD.
I noticed that while Sys::MemInfo::get("totalmem") works corrently,
Sys::MemInfo::get("freemem") gives unexpected results in FreeBSD's Sparc
version. It works correctly under FreeBSD with x86.
Here's a sample output from a Sparc-machine with 2 gigabytes of ram:
Free memory: 7.86511453723034e+17
Total memory: 2137284608
The machine runs FreeBSD 7.1-p3 with Perl 5.8.9 and Sys::MemInfo 0.91.
If you need more info or testing a patched version, please let me know.
Thanks!
