All of the perl scripts depend on the IXPManager perl-lib being installed
and the ixpmanager.conf file being configured correctly.  At some stage in
the future, we will hook this into application/configs/application.ini, but
right now, we're stuck with ixpmanager.conf for perl stuff.

This script isn't going to do much good until we release the glue layer for
the sflow data importer.  We have this in operation at INEX at the moment,
but unfortunately it uses the wrong filesystem layout for the files and has
a couple of other problems. Because of this, I don't want to release the
code until these problems are fixed because if we release it now and
ixpmanager users use the current data layout, it will require a non-trivial
upgrade procedure to move to the new layout - which we don't want to
inflict on users.

Also, update-l2database.pl has only been tested on Brocade equipment
(FES-X624 and TurboIron 24X).  What sort of equipment are you using?
