Approximately when were the Perl bindings last updated?
Looks like 2002 sometime, according to CPAN.

Prior to the 2.0 series, there was a non-hierarchical list of
variables, and I believe some other aspects of the protocol changed as
well.

Having looked at the perl code against the documentation for NUT 2.0.1, I can see the problem!
Details are in docs/protocol.txt.

If there is sufficient interest, we could use SWIG to generate
Perl/Python/language-du-jour bindings from libupsclient.

Having rewritten some chunks of it, I now have a perl module that will at least run against NUT 2.0, although it does not yet exploit all the information available. I am happy to make that available to people should it be useful, although it'll be more useful in a couple of days time - I'm developing it as I develop my web application to drive/monitor my various UPSs. If people think it will be useful to them, I can make it available on some website or other, or send it to the NUT guys if they will find it useful.


Thanks for your help
