arcstat.pl is a Perl script that uses the Sun::Solaris::Kstat module to read
ZFS ARC kstat values from the system and report on an interval basis. 

Some output examples can be found on the author's blog here:
http://blogs.sun.com/realneel/entry/zfs_arc_statistics

Examples showing L2ARC data can be found here:
http://blog.harschsystems.com/tools/arcstat-pl-updated-for-l2arc-statistics/

Note: L2ARC statistics are only available on systems that have implemented
the L2ARC (i.e. nevada-based releases).

Usage for arcstat.pl can be obtained by providing the "--help" flag:

./arcstat.pl --help
Arcstat version 0.4
Usage: arcstat.pl [-hvx] [-f fields] [-o file] [interval [count]]
         -x : Print extended stats
         -f : Specify specific fields to print (see -v)
         -o : Print stats to file
         -s : Specify a seperator

Examples:
        arcstat -o /tmp/a.log 2 10
        arcstat -s , -o /tmp/a.log 2 10
        arcstat -v
        arcstat -f time,hit%,dh%,ph%,mh% 

Available fields (statistics) can be retrieved with the "-v" flag:

./arcstat.pl -v
Arcstat version 0.4
Usage: arcstat.pl [-hvx] [-f fields] [-o file] [interval [count]]
