Are you running it via env(1) to nuke any environment variables that
may carry over into the nagios environment when you run it manually?

Well maybe. What does Net::SSH::Perl have to say about running without
a tty?

Maybe schedule an at(1) job to run the script as nagios with
debugging/tracing turned on (perl -d scriptname with AutoTrace set in
PERLDB_OPTS, man perldebug) and see if that works/fails?
