Multiple methods (TIMTOWTDI) depending on what you want:
my $verstring = `cmd.exe /c ver`;
# or
use Win32;
my ($string, $major, $minor, $build, $id ) = Win32::GetOSVersion;
The environment variables PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE and
PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER should provide the basic hardware information.

Not that I know of.
