Thanks for your reply. I have already considered this solution but this 
is not the one I prefer. If I choose this solution, that means I would 
have failed in the optimal configuration of Nagios (I can't admit it ;) 
). Also my script can't be used anymore if Ihave two macros containing 
strings.

The best solution is to correcftly configure Nagios command line and 
Iknow there 's a way to do that. It's not a problem of perl code but 
Nagios configuration (it's why I post in the nagios mailing list and not 
perl one). Finally, I'm not a perl coder as you have seen ;) (I prefer C 
lang. but in this case I do not decide any).
