Ordinarily I'd do it with SNMP and an SNMP agent, but then that's what I do for a living :) If you want to write a perl app that directly reads from the proc table, have a look at http://search.cpan.org/~durist/Proc-ProcessTable-0.40/ . You don't mention the platform you're using, but the support for this module is pretty broad.
