Can't get plugin to ever start

[Charlie Hedlin]

I believe my problem is with embedded perl.  I will probably rebuild 
nagios from source to get rid of it, unless anyone could possibly point 
me in the right direction to fix it.  In the interim I have the check 
script wrapped with a shell script to get it to work.

Thanks,
Charlie Hedlin
