Your project sounds a lot like doing SNMP+some additional functionality. You probably want to check out the latest net-snmp sources, which has Perl bindings for all of its libraries. I've played around with them -> very cool stuff!

I'm seriously interested in the progress of this project as I tend to be a bit lazy and want to let my computer do the stuff, so this project would be great for a person such as me :-)
