There is one for both unix and Windows in the toolkit.

Windows being what it is, the unix flavor is a little more robust, but the windows alert.log monitor runs quite well. Sometimes annoyingly so. (chkalert_NT.pl - it runs as a service )

It does not require DBI. It does require installation of a few modules. Active state usually has most of them available.

I've found with later versions of AS that one of the modules ( I forget which) needs to be loaded manually by downloading from CPAN. As it is a pure Perl module, that doesn't present much of a problem.
