I might be worthwhile considering refactoring some of the code, and putting it 
under a Xymon namespace, and making an official Xymon perl framework.

I have a few other perl checks, and could probably have benefited from some 
routines, but didn't want to add a new dependency. However, if we make an 
official perl library that ships with Xymon, it would be less of an issue ...
