If speed is required, Nagios::Config is a non-starter:

[root at demetri02 root]# perl -MCPAN -e "install Nagios::Config"
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata

Warning: Cannot install Nagios::Config, don't know what it is.
Try the command

    i /Nagios::Config/

to find objects with matching identifiers.

[root at demetri02 root]# perl -MCPAN -e shell

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v1.61)
ReadLine support available (try 'install Bundle::CPAN')

cpan> i /Nagios/
CPAN: Storable loaded ok

cpan> install Nagios::Config::File
<snip>

Too early to specify a build action 'Build'.  Do 'Build Build' instead.
make: *** [Build] Error 29
  /usr/bin/make  -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

Or am I missing something?
