I agree, libvirt is a fairly good bet, however I did find that the perl binding
were a tad slow, and plus I have found that alot of the xen xml-rpc calls
changed between xen 3.0 and 3.1, so presumably i'd be waiting for libvirt to
catch-up before dupe could.

I'll probably re-visit libvirt for perl soon (just as soon as I sort out the
problem where I can only boot my xen machine with once pci card).
