So we have now three possibilities:

(1) it makes sense to call p1.pl manually from the command line
=> p1.pl and nagios in /usr/sbin/

(2) it does not make sense to call p1.pl manually from the command
line, nagios needs to be in the same directory
=> p1.pl and nagios in /usr/lib/nagios, symlink for /usr/sbin/nagios

(3) it does not make sense to call p1.pl manually from the command
line, nagios needs to be in the same directory
=> p1.pl in /usr/share/nagios, nagios binary in /usr/sbin/nagios

So all boils down on whether it makes sense to call p1.pl from the
command line or not. Can you comment on this?

What kind of setup would actually _need_ p1.pl?

Greetings
Marc
