I can't give you any details without seeing your script, but normally it
should evaluate the status of whatever is being checked and return 0 for
OK, 1 for WARING and 2 for CRITICAL.

If you're running external programs then your script should either parse
STDOUT/ERR or check the return code (or both) to evaluate the status and
return its own value. Don't forget to timeout using SIGALARM to avoid
stale processes.

FYI there's a Nagios::Plugin CPAN module that can help writing Nagios
plugins in Perl. You should see check_stuff.pl (comes in the Module
tarball) for examples.
