You should make a couple changes around line 132:
my $backend = 'MRTG';
comment out the use statement in line 137
# use rrd;
And you should be fine.

No, it understands how to read the log files and web pages.

[PS to Paul - I didn't write this one, Craig Cook did, but I have hacked
it up.  Al Payne is currently maintaining it, and he has several
post-1.6 patches collected.  I'll try to submit a couple more before 1.7
is released sometime in February.]
