I would also recommend not reinveting the wheel and checking out Apache's XML
libraries for generation (and if you need it, parsing).

http://xml.apache.org/

Ethan, if you know HTML, you know XML! It's really nothing special, just
another data format!

I'd be very happy to help out on this part, and I'm fairly familiar with XML.
I'm not not very familiar with C or C++. I can give it a whack if you want.

I guess I could do a quick example which parses the status.log? Converting
that to an XML in perl would be /really/ easy for me as well..

If there were one entry, you could do something like:

[1037341558]
SERVICE;stcalldb1;PING;OK;1/3;HARD;1037341411;1037341711;ACTIVE;1;1;1;1037338125
;0;OK;575;0;0;0;0;0;1;0;4;1;0;0.00;0;1;1;1;PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA =
1.10 ms



stcalldb1
PING
...etc...



Nothing really that hard honestly.
