That sounds like an excellent solution. Would you mind sharing that perl
script?

I use the NessusWX client and export the scan results into a MySQL
database. (I'm eagerly awaiting the future Nessus with a database
backend!).  From the database, I use a Perl script to generate an
Excel spreadsheet with 4 worksheets:

Vulnerabilities, sorted by host
HTTP servers and banner (if any), including listening port
FTP servers and banner
SMTP servers and banner

While not perfect, I find that it makes tracking stuff down easier.
I also make use of Excel's autofilter a lot, hence the spreadsheet
format.
