BTW, it might be quite helpful to rename that script, since there's
already an "sa-stats.pl" in the 'tools' dir -- as follows:

That one is terminally broken. I had to install a perl module that
was not on my system. Once I did it reported all zeros.

I did make a change to the sa-stats.pl on the SARE site. It now works
quite nicely. (It was reporting nonsense for a couple of the values. Now
it reports something useful in that formerly nonsense slot.)
