Embedded Perl Hardcoded path

[Russell Scibetti]

I have a concern about how Nagios references the p1.pl file it uses for 
embedded perl.  Nagios put the p1.pl file inside the bin directory where 
the nagios executable is.  However, the nagios executable uses a 
hardcoded reference to where p1.pl is.  The variable it uses is P1LOC 
which is set in the locations.h file when you run ./configure.

This is the same problem that occurs with the CGI's by default.  They 
are compiled with the location of cgi.cfg.  I fixed this by using an 
environment variable to tell the CGI's where the cgi.cfg file was. 
 However, for the case of the p1.pl location, it seems to me that this 
should be a setting for the nagios.cfg file.  So this way, if you are 
running multiple instance or move an instance somewhere else, you don't 
have to run ./configure every time.

Any thoughts on this?  Thanks.
