[solved] Conky - display GPU freq?

Question

I want to get conky to display a "Current Clocks (core)" value of this command:
$ aticonfig --od-getclocks
Default Adapter - ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650
Core (MHz) Memory (MHz)
Current Clocks : 110 405
Current Peak : 600 700
Configurable Peak Range : [300-600] [700-700]
GPU load : 0%
Ideally, I would also like to have it show Current Memory, but because of the layout of the output, I have no idea how do do it.
I tried something like that:
${color pueple}${execi 60 aticonfig --od-getclocks | perl -ne 'print $1 if /Current*?: (\d+)./;'} MHz$voffset
but it displays nothing.

Good point. But apparently Conky can't spell either because it displays the value in purple...

Does this command in a terminal correctly display what you'd like to see in conky?
aticonfig --od-getclocks | perl -ne 'print $1 if /Current*?: (\d+)./;'
If it does not, that's where I'd start -- construct the correct command and only then try adding it to conky.
It doesn't. But that's the best I could come up with. I don't know how this works so I tried copying my old nvidia setup.

There are all kinds of ways to parse that output to get the values you want, including the memory. There are also other ways to get the GPU frequency. What is the output of
cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info
Directory /sys/kernel/debug/dri/ contains no files no subfolders.
