No battery monitor and no sound monitor with perlpanel?

Well to make it sort, i use the perlpanel in combinement with openbox, great panel, works wonders and without too much crap. So i added the battery monitor to the process line and it won't show, so i checked the failure reference and apparently, acpi hasn't listed my hardware units.
Can anyone help me out with this as i am kinda boggled to why it diddent list them this time, as it has done before?

The sound monitor should be a piece of cake, it is also for the perl panel, but it just says: "The Volume applet requires the Audio::Mixer module!". I guess what i need is this audio mixer module, but where do i get it and which one is it?

You need to load the acpi modules : http://www.archlinux.org/news/312/
They'll be loaded automatically with initscripts 0.8-7.

For the mixer, perl-audio-mixer is in AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?d … =1&ID=8347
