perfparse doesn't display hosts, services

[Ton Voon]

John,

I haven't used perfparse, but I had a problem when I was trying to  
use a daemon that was reading data from the named pipe but nagios  
could not write to the named pipe.

Problem was that nagios tries to open the perf file in append mode  
(which makes sense if it is actually a file). This fails for a pipe  
(at least on Solaris 2.6). So I patched nagios to open it in write  
mode - please find attached. This is against Nagios 1.0, so it may  
have moved for later versions.
