Is there a reason we shouldn't be working on a consistent set of perl modules 
for Xymon, which is maintained upstream?

I started on a simple Xymon::Client (attached) module, to start looking at 
replacing what was being duplicated across a number of different perl extension 
scripts. The next step (to be able to have thresholds in hobbit-clients.cfg) I 
wanted to look at required parsing bb-hosts to represent the page layout (and 
other criteria for threshold matching), at which point I got stuck.

However, this would then also be useful to work on a new web interface (say in 
Catalyst).
