Hey,
The WMI performance counters will do the job for you. See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/
wmi/performance_counter_classes.asp, and in particular
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wmisdk/
wmi/win32_perfformatteddata_tcpip_networkinterface.asp
Hope that gives you some pointers - there are sample scripts on the site
which should be easily convertable to perl.
Good luck!
Cheers,
Paul
