I have a working xsub-based Perl interface for libpcp_pmda (PCP::PMDA) + a
couple of example PMDAs written in Perl, but haven't attempted a libpcp Perl
interface. A Perl interface for clients would certainly be very useful for
some folk (e.g. people wanting to write GUI monitoring tools in a scripting
language), but its a bigger job than I have time for at the moment.
I also haven't made the PCP::PMDA interface available to many people yet (noone
outside SGI) - let me know if making it publically available would be useful -
I'd have to knock up some documentation, test it a bit more thoroughly, etc,
but that shouldn't take too long.
cheers.
