You might want to take a look at the Perl TL1 Toolkit:
https://noc.sara.nl/nrg/TL1-Toolkit/index.html

It's a Perl Library designed to communicate with TL1 devices.
It has some specific functions for several Nortel and Cisco devices, but 
should work with any TL1 device.

The package comes with some example scripts as well. We use it 
extensively to and monitor (and report about) our SONET/SDH and DWDM 
network.

Cheers,
  Andree
