Perl script to gather WMI data on screensaver usage

I am very new to scripting/programming and WMI but I have been tasked with gathering information from a list of systems to see if the screensavers are active or not. I need to be able to then store the information to a file and have a cron job run every 10 minutes or so and append the results to said file.

There is noting in there as of yet to write to the file as I am stumped on just getting it to return the correct information in the first place.

Any pointers you guys can provide would be great.

Here is what I have so far:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

my $file = 'hosts.txt';
open my $info, $file or die 'Could not open $file: $!';

while( my $line = <$info>) {
my $user = 'uid';
my $password = 'pwd';
my $server = $line;
my $result = `wmic -U domain/$user%'$password' //$server 'select * from Win32_Process WHERE Name = 'LogonUI.exe''`;
my @results = split(/ /,$result);
my @tmparray = split(/|/, @results[2]);
my $isActive = 0;

use POSIX qw/strftime/;

if (@tmparray[0] eq 'LogonUI.exe') {
$isActive = 1;
}
else {
$isActive = 0;
}

print strftime('Date:%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S, ', localtime(time));
print 'Host:$server, Screensaver IsActive:$isActive, ';
}
