Perl plugin exit code?

Hey all,

I've written a perl script to check the status of some information from
one of our application databases.  It seems to run fine manually but
nagios only get's (No Output!) when I try to use it live.

Permissions on the perl script are set correctly, if I su - over to
nagios I can run the script as nagios.  So I'm stumped and looking for
ideas here.

Second part of my question has to do with perl more than nagios,
Obviously I need to send the correct exit code to nagios.  I set a
varialble "$status" (0, 1 or 2) in the script according to the query
results and at the end of the script I have

Exit $status;

Will this give the correct exit status that nagios is looking for?

Thanks,

Jeff
