Having looked at the perl code against the documentation for NUT 2.0.1, 
I can see the problem!

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
