Plugin fails with epn

[Max]

If you look at p1.pl, which is in the Nagios bin directory you can
enable ePn logging (EPN_LEAVE_MESSAGES or something similar for debug
level) and have epn log each command execution to a log file ... This
often will make the source of an epn error more obvious.

The other thing to do is add

Use warnings;

To your script or run it from the command line with

perl -w

As any output to STDERR will cause ePN to halt execution.

That said, 'not execute properly' errors are often permissions or path
errors, so when you test from the CLI make sure you run the script as
the same user your Nagios damon runs as.
