Try changing this line
PerfCounterValue = $perf.RawValue
to
$perf.RawValue
Yours is currently similar to a VBScript style function, where you specify
the return value in the name of the function. It works slightly differently
in Powershell - you can just write the value you want returned on a line by
its own, or you could also use a return statement
return $perf.RawValue
