There used to be a perl script called bb.pl that was almost a drop-in
replacement for the old 'bb' command, if I recall correctly.

I've been having a reasonable degree of success using curl to post to the
xymon server.  It shouldn't be too hard to make that into a shell script to
replace the compiled client for general use.

Is there anyone that have made a perl module or subroutine for sending to
a xymon-server without having to install the xymon client?
On some node it is difficult to install a client. Some vendors are very
afraid of having things installed on "their" equipment, and the os might be
stripped down with no compilers and so on.
For sending to xymon I guess all you need is a simple socket connections
so I expect that this has been done many times already.
Anyone who would like to share?
