It does exist and I pasted the text from it in a previous e-mail earlier
today.  I downloaded it from nagiosexchange as an add-on so no default
Nagios install would have this.  It is located
in /usr/local/nagios/libexec.  See below:

root at LOOKINIUM:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# locate send_mail.pl
/home/zlocaladmin/Documents/send_mail.pl
/usr/local/nagios/libexec/send_mail.pl
root at LOOKINIUM:/usr/local/nagios/libexec# 

The /home/zlocaladmin/Documents/send_mail.pl reference is where the file
was downloaded and I copied rather than moved it into
the /usr/local/nagios/libexec folder so that one is not being used.  I
have looked this over and over and can't figure out why it says it does
not exist.  It's there.
