That will give you problems if there are spaces in the arguments. You
should try
/usr/bin/perl perlscript.pl "$@" 2>&1
instead, which expands the argument list and encapsulates each argument
in double quotes. The 2>&1 part sends stderr to stdout, so you can trap
occasional perl errors instead of getting the old 'no output', if you
want a more generic wrapper.
Or just disable the embedded perl interpreter. Judging from mail going
to nagios-devel, problems with it aren't likely to be solved any time
soon...
