Just so i can get a better idea, what kind of machine is this ?

Well, found some info on the /proc/pci (i had not worked with it before), and whipped up a quick starter ... use at your own risk, your milage may vary ...blah blah blah. Hope it helps.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
my @devices;
$/ = "\n  ";
while (my $lines = <DATA>) {
    my %hash;
    if ($lines =~ m/Bus (\d+), device (\d+), function (\d+):/) {
        $hash{bus} = $1;
        $hash{device} = $2;
        $hash{function} = $3;
    }
    ## parse other lines ...
    push @devices,\%hash;
}

# use @devices

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
