Hi Stanley,
i´ve posted on monday the following message. I think there was a problem  with 
embedded perl. Which perl-plugins do you use?

I just upgraded my Nagios-2.0 to nagios-2.3. Both Versions were compiled with 
epn-support with --enable-embedded-perl --with-perlcache

Runnning nagios-2.0 all checks using perl-plugins (check_smart, 
check_cisco_env, check_ifoperstatus and others) were doing fine.

Using nagios-2.3 i got the following errors:
check_ciscoenv.pl
;Cisco environmental health;UNKNOWN;HARD;3;UNKNOWN: Unable to resolve 
destination address '-c'

check_load.pl
;Load;UNKNOWN;SOFT;2;**ePN /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_load.pl: "Argument 
"" isn't numeric in numeric lt (<) at (eval 12) line 61,".

check_ifoperstatus.pl
;UNKNOWN;notify-by-email;**ePN /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ifoperstatus: 
Option d requires an argument.

check_smart.pl
;S.M.A.R.T-Status;UNKNOWN;SOFT;1;**ePN /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_smart.pl: 
"Can't exec "sudo": No such file or directory at (eval 15) line 119,".

check_traffic.pl
;Traffic ISDN-Interface;CRITICAL;notify-by-email;CRITICAL: Could not match ISDN Basic Rate Interface (S0)

After downgrading to nagios-2.0 all services recovered.

Anyone else having this strange problems? 
How do i get rid of this messages/errors?

Thanks for your help.
With best regards

Michael
