MRTG is the Multi Router Traffic Grapher (http://www.mrtg.org/). It is
designed to monitor usages of routers, but anything that has snmp will work
with it, including NT. It queries the systems info every few minutes and
makes a web page plotting these information into hourly, daily, monthly, and
yearly graphs.
Have you looked at PHP3 instead of Perl/DBI? It is much faster, unless you
are running mod_perl.

Currently have Oracle installed on my laptop and use it to test all my
code before moving it into production.
What is MRTG?

Yeah, I need the transaction processing. Plus, the corporation has a
contract with Oracle, so I won't be out any bucks by going that route.

Right now perl/dbi for database connectivity.

I'm afraid there will be more problems with W2K than there were with
Y2K...
