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.
