Subject: How to determine when a patch was applied ?

Has anyone got any useful scripts / utils that I could use (Rather than
writing a perl one myself) that i can point at a server and rather than
just telling me if a patch is applied (a la hfnetchk) that can also tell
me when patches were applied. So that I run the util/script against a
server or list of servers and it could tell me what patches had been
applied in say the last day / week ?

I know how to determine when a patch was applied manually i.e. look at
the hidden uninstall directories in %systemroot% I just want a more
automated method, preferably an executabel / perl script.
