Dear Sir,

I am writing to thank you for your letter and say,

that I think this is mini_epn's way of telling you that the plugin is
not coded with sufficient rigour to run properly under an embedded Perl
interpreter.

Unfortunately, syntactically correct Perl programs do _not_ necessarily
run under embedded Perl Nag (ePN).

Likewise, I think.

You can make sure that utils.pm is in the same directory as mini_epn and
if not, try it again with check_ntp.

Otherwise, your options are 

1 Have a look at the Nag docco for ePN to get some hints about Perl
coding for ePN and correct the plugin.

2 Wait for someone else to try and do so.

check_ntp doesn't look as if it has any obvious problems; neither does
check_mysql (and it doesn't need utils.pm).

In anycase, mini_epn _should_ provide some more feedback on plugin
compilation failures (this is what is happening here: the plugin once it
is turned into the subroutine  named hndlr by p1.pl

sub hndlr {
 my @parms = @_ ;

 # plugin text

}

doesn't compile
).

Yours sincerely.
