nagios plugins return code issue

[Herb J.]

Additionally, Nagios is really sensitive about how the Perl script is 
written. It should be written well-enough to run with "use strict" 
without any errors. (I see that it is commented out of both of your 
scripts.) Additionally, the embedded Perl interpreter causes the scripts 
to be run in what I consider to be a somewhat "non-standard" way in 
regards to how the parameters are sent to the script. (In our 
installation we have to surround host and service macros with quotes 
before sending them to any plugins written in Perl.) The copyright date 
on that file is 2000, so you will definitely want to find (or write) a 
more up to date version.
