I just can't get this to run from Nagios as a service check. All works ok from
command line as the nagios user. The error is 'No output!' . Other service checks
are working ok.
I tried to wrap it for debugging, but I can't get it to run that way either. I think
I need to escape some characters, but I'm not having any luck.
Can anyone help?

check_rrd_data.pl:
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
# check_rrd_data plugin for nagios
#
# usage:
# check_rrd machine_id perlexp_warn perlexp_crit perlexp_default [ds]
#
# Checks data from a RRD file. machine_id is normally an IP address, that has
# to be mapped to a RRD file, by means of the config file (by default
# /var/spool/nagios/rrd-files, a file with pairs of (machine_id,rrd_file),
# separated by whitespace). It can be a RRD file, too.
#
# The Perl expressions are expressions to be evaluated in the following cases:
#
# - perlexp_crit. The first one, to check if there is a critical situation. If
# it returns other than "", it will be a critical message.
# - perlexp_warn. The second one to be evaluated. If returns other than "", a
# warning will be issued to Nagios.
# - perlexp_default. If both of the above return "", it will be evaluated, and
# wathever returns this expression will be returned by the script. NOTE that
# this is different from the other two cases, to allow the user issue a
# warning or critical failure even if the other two don't return it.
#
# Use these hosts.cfg entries as examples
