ok, i modified the shebang and all works without warnings.  thanks a bunch.  but i still haven't fingered out why i need to alter @INC.  see the 
following output.  as you can see "." is in @INC.  you'd think i wouldn't have to explicitly add the full path to get it to work. in any event, i'm ok 
with the small tweak...for now;)


jenna contrib # cd /usr/nagios/libexec/contrib/
jenna contrib # perl -le 'print join("\n", at INC);'
/etc/perl
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/i386-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6

jenna contrib # ./check_log2.pl

thank you for your assistance and have a good weekend.
