[Nagios-devel] Nagios::Object - perl objects/parser for Nagios config & log

[Al T. <to...@to...>]

I've been working on Nagios::Object, a set of perl modules for parsing
and working with Nagios objects in perl.  The first cut of this module
is available at http://www.tobert.org/perl/Nagios-Object-0.01.tar.gz . 
It's a little rough around the edges, but I need people to look at the
API and tell me what it needs.

There are three modules in the distribution (for now):
Nagios::Object - represent Nagios objects as perl objects
Nagios::Object::Config - parse Nagios object configs
Nagios::StatusLog - parse Nagios status logs

Some possible modules in the future:
Nagios::Default - parse files like nagios.cfg (will be in v0.02)
DBD::Nagios - DBI/SQL interface to the Nagios configuration
Nagios::HTML - HTML widgets for Nagios configuration & statuses

My hope is that as time goes by, these modules make it possible to
rewrite the Nagios CGIs in perl.  I also plan on looking at making the
backend of Nagios::Object be able to read Nagios v2's DBM cache or even
get it directly from Nagios via SHM or something crazy like that.

All (451) of my tests succeed on my Linux laptop, but I'd like for some
of you out there to beat on it and let me know what you think.  I'm
planning on posting version 0.02 to CPAN this weekend if I get some
feedback.
