Hi Paolo, I understand the time-related problem, I face it myself way more often than I'd hope for :-)
I haven't looked very closely at the pmacct source code, but a nice first step would be to modularize the functionality of pmacct. I have no idea if the current codebase is suited for something like that. If pmacct were to become a mere frontend to a pmacct library, it would pave the road for other frontend implementations. If I have some spare time I will take look at the code myself as well. For now the interfacing with the pmacct does the job pretty nicely. Except that errorhandling is a bit nasty, though that's also caused by my far from extensive perl knowledge. Thanks for your input thus far.
