p1.pl (embedded Perl support) patch.

Dear Folks, 

Please find attached a patch to the CVS (yesterday, 6/7/2005) copy of p1.pl.

The patch has three (3) minor changes

1 POD corrections

2 Correct 'off by 7' error in line numbers containing syntax or runtime errors

3 reduce length of error report (from unbounded) to 256 chars

and __one__ more substantial change to the plugin caching action: the CVS
version does not update the cache with the recompiled version (after a text
change), making it impossible to correct plugins without a restart. This
version ensures that a plugin text change replaces the compiled/cached copy
of the plugin.

Tested by two users on prod embedded Perl Nagios (400 and > 2k hosts) for at
least 2 days without any sign of the leak from Hell.

NB the patch removes some of the RCS commentary that I think leaked from my
devel copy formerly.

Yours sincerely.
