The GTop module interfaces with the libgtop library. The good news is
that there is a BSD version of libgtop. See
http://home-of-linux.org/gnome/libgtop/platform-bsd.html for details.
Here is some example code:
<code>
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use GTop;
use constant B => 1;
use constant KB => B*1024;
use constant MB => KB*1024;
my $gtop = GTop->new;
my $mem = $gtop->mem;
my $swp = $gtop->swap;
write;
format STDOUT =
MEMORY
Total Used Free
@<<<<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<<<<
$mem->total/MB, $mem->used/MB, $mem->free/MB
SWAP
@<<<<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<<<<
$swp->total/MB, $swp->used/MB, $swp->free/MB
.
</code>
<output>
MEMORY
Total Used Free
123.859375 101.29296875 22.56640625
SWAP
250.9765625 37.1171875 213.859375
