you could simply rewrite that script to update the account table.

my $NewStatus = $status;
my $AcctID = $client->AccountID();
my $SQLQuery = '';

event_whatever {
  $NewStatus = $NewStatus + 1;
  $SQLQuery = 'update account set status = '.$NewStatus.' where id = '.$AcctID.';';
 $dbh->do($SQLQuery);
}
