Take a look at Apache::Scoreboard it knows to fetch the scoreboard info
from remote server. I guess in the same fashion you can write a module to
connect and retrieve other data as well.

But wait, why not to write a script/handler that will deliver all the
required data on request? Use LWP for retrieval and Storable or/and
Data::Dumper for easy serialization and later restore.
