Nagios versions, or versions of relevant things are helpful.

As it turns out from your subsequent letter that you are using Nagios 
2.0alpha1 where the -m option is not implemented, life is harder.

Your options are

1  strings <nag_binary> | grep perl_

eg 

tsitc> strings nagios-2.0a1_SUSS | grep perl_
PL_perl_destruct_level
perl_construct
perl_parse
perl_call_argv
perl_run
perl_call_pv
perl_destruct
perl_alloc
perl_free
perl_get_sv
max_embedded_perl_calls
max_embedded_perl_calls
Illegal value for max_embedded_perl_calls
Usage: DynaLoader::dl_install_xsub(perl_name, symref, 
filename="$Package")
tsitc> 

2 or if Nag was built from source, examine the source directory for

config.status - check the options used when it was last run

eg tsitc> grep perl config.status 
# ./configure  --enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache


examine include/config.h

eg tsitc> grep EMB include/config.h
#define EMBEDDEDPERL 1
tsitc> 

These are all unequivocal signs that the dir was either edited to 
resemble an ePN build, or was last used to build an ePN.
