You've got three options really --

1) Modify the plugin to be compatible with ePN by following the
guidelines at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/embeddedperl.html.
Other people would likely value the contribution.

2) Modify how you call the plugin so that ePN isn't used. This can be
accomplished by prefacing the command{} command_line with
/your/path/to/perl i.e.

define command{
	command_name check_snmp_process
	command_line /usr/bin/perl $USER1$/check_snmp_process_monitor.pl
-w ... <other args>
}

3) recompile nagios without ePN and re-install. This is pretty
straightforward 

cd /path/to/nagios-src && ./configure --enable-embedded-perl=no <your
other args> && make && /etc/init.d/nagios stop && make install &&
/etc/init.d/nagios start
