Sure, use the GTop module which interfaces against libgtop:

https://metacpan.org/release/GTop

Its current metacpan.org documents are kinda messed up for some reason, so you
should view this page:

https://metacpan.org/module/MJH/GTop-0.17/GTop.pod

This may also prove useful:

http://developer.gnome.org/libgtop/stable/

For creating Excel spreadsheets with graphs you can look at a spreadsheet
generating module, such as:

* https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-WriteExcel

* https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-WriteExcelXML

Or maybe something OpenDocument related.

Writing a BitKeeper replacement is probably easier at this point than getting
its license changed.
