If you only need a disk space thingy, then just follow Improv's advice.
If you need additional monitoring, then you might be better setting up an SNMP server on the machine and querying it all the values that you need. If you follow this path, then you can use Net::SNMP module to make your own scripts. You can also use a contrib collection from MRTG software distribution. MRTG is a something specifically design for monitoring, and (surprise, surprise!) is written in Perl. I'll also add a link to MRTG section on my site, in case you decide to look. :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
