does MySQL have a "pretty" way to persist snapshots of various show commands?

for example in Oracle you could just do: 

insert into sysstat_log select sysdate, * from v$sysstat; 
--(an ugly, overly simple example)

can the show commands be called/parsed with DBD/DBI?

so far the only way I've come up with to do this is by hacking up
tee(s) with cut, sed, etc. in bash which works fine but is rather
repulsive to look at.

in particular I'd like to build a cgi that generates a trended report
of show master status and show slave status to quantify the proagation
delay (or lack thereof) to mgmt.

any light shed would be greatly appreciated!
