It might be that you have perl in your path, but the perl script's #! line doesn't declare the full path to perl, or there's an access error of some sort. But it's easy to figure out what's going on. Simply change your command_line to: command_line $USER1$/check_apc_pdu.pl -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C public 2>&1 That will redirect standard error to standard out. Next time Nagios runs the script it will capture the full output of the script and you should see right in your Nagios ui, what the issue is.
