IMHO, we need a more flexible web UI ...

So, I started with a pure perl module, currently testing it with a very simple 
perl script for all the features of the normal 'bb' client.

Next steps are:
-add support for parsing bb-hosts so that it can do layout
-start defining data structure formats for a Catalyst Model, and/or for passing 
as JSON to an AJAX ui (or, straight structure to perl CGI module).

I have attached what I've got so far. Client.pm should be in a directory named 
Xymon, which should be in a directory that is listed in PERL5LIB, e.g.
mkdir Xymon
cp Client.pm Xymon
export PERL5LIB=`pwd`

Then, the bb.pl and get.pl will work.

I would appreciate feedback and ideas from people who might want to use this 
module. If others think this is the right direction, I'll put it in a VCS 
somewhere.
