Not sure what type of VM details you're looking for, but have a look at this script - http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9842

It can be customized based on what you're looking for and there is a sample report to give you an idea. Also check out this script repository which also contains various vSphere SDK for Perl sample scripts - http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9852

Take a look at the whichClusterIsMyVmIn.pl (http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-10439) script in the repo which provides both the ESX(i) host the VM is hosted on as well as the vCenter cluster.
