Thanks for the suggestion, but I already have a script like that on the
server that displays that information.  Although this script and the one I
have are quite informative, I know for the average enduser/client it's a bit
more information then they need or care to have.  Many of them won't
understand alot of the information that is presented to them.  All they
really need to know is their root, IP if applicable, sendmail and perl path.

I was just looking for a way to 1) Present the info in a nice way 2) Present
the info on the clients own site 3) Avoid having to send clients off-site
and 4) automate the presentation of this information for me.

Basically a way to streamline the process.
