Subject: poor choice of names
If this is only ever going to be specific to Linux then you should name this Linux::ACPI. See https://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_namingmodules and look at other existing modules for naming conventions.

Thanks for your observation! I do very much agree with your comment. Nevertheless, there are some other modules, specific to Linux, with similar names. These are: Acpi::Fan, Acpi::Temperature and Acpi::Battery. These three modules use the deprecated /proc/acpi directory to get the information, this is why I have written this module and used the naming that has already been set. At the same time, I understand that mac os x also stores system information in /sys/class tree and, although I do not have access to a mac os x, future developments can take this into consideration. I am open to suggestions on how to proceed. Cheers!

After consideration, the name of the module follows the naming of the already existing modules. The right solution would be to rename all the modules at once. Cheers!
