Looks like you're parsing output from Multi Router Traffic Grapher, a neat SNMP tool that fetches bandwidth utilization info and generates HTML pages from those stats.

Instead of parsing it's HTML output back into text, you might consider using UCD SNMP to query the device(s) directly.   UCD-SNMP includes snmpwalk and other command-line tools that are pretty slick.

For a more perlish solution, Net::Snmp would also do the trick.   "(code) mind your snmPs & Qs" shows yet another perlish approach, this time using CPAN module SNMP to query devices for info.

There are any number of possible reasons why these wouldn't work in your situation, but they seem worth mentioning.
