Hi,

I'd like to announce the arrival of a new module at the CPAN. From the
perldocs:


NAME
Unix::Statgrab - Perl extension for collecting information about the
machine

SYNOPSIS
use Unix::Statgrab;

local $, = "\n";

my $host = get_host_info or
die get_error;

print $host->os_name,
$host->os_release,
$host->os_version,
...;

my $disks = get_disk_io_stats or
die get_error;

for (0 .. $disks->num_disks - 1) {
print $disks->disk_name($_),
$disks->read_bytes($_),
...;
}

DESCRIPTION
Unix::Statgrab is a wrapper for libstatgrab as available from
<http://www.i-scream.org/libstatgrab/>. It is a reasonably portable
attempt to query interesting stats about your computer. It covers
information on the operating system, CPU, memory usage, network inter-
faces, hard-disks etc.

Prerequisite for this module is the libstatgrab C-library, so obviously
you need to have this installed plus a C compiler. The library itself
claims to be portable across various Unices (Linux, *BSD, Solaris). I
haven't verified this so I trust its authors on that.
