Probably something similar to this using lstat or stat.

knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ perl -E '
> $rdev = ( stat q{/dev/zero} )[ 6 ];
> $minor = $rdev % 256;
> $major = int( $rdev / 256 );
> say $rdev;
> say $major;
> say $minor;'

crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 5 Dec  7 11:39 /dev/zero
knoppix@Microknoppix:~$ perl -E '
> $rdev = ( stat q{/dev/zram0} )[ 6 ];
> $minor = $rdev % 256;
> $major = int( $rdev / 256 );
> say $rdev;
> say $major;
> say $minor;'

I hope this is helpful.
