nagios 2.9 ePN INC line

[David Fulton]

Symbolic link the NET::DNS plugin to one of those directories (like
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8) and it should find the module after
that. I gave up on trying to change how ePN looks for modules when it
couldn't find  utils.pm in my plugin directory. Since all the default
PERL nagios plugins need that I just made a symlink. Works smooth as
silk.

Subject: [Nagios-users] nagios 2.9 ePN INC line

Any suggestions on how to make ePN play fair?

I'm using nagios 2.9, and trying to use a plugin that uses Net::DNS.

I installed Net::DNS using gentoo package management all fine and dandy,

scripts work on command line, but not through embedded perl. Mainly 
because ePN has an include line that misses out where the plugin is..
(/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/...)

Here's the (truncated) error message that seems to get output (not sure 
what the tailing missing bit is):

**ePN failed to compile /usr/nagios/libexec/check_dns_host: "Can't
locate 
Net/DNS.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl 
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8

/usr/lib/perl5/site_p" at /usr/nagi

So how do I adjust the INC line that ePN tries to use? I can't find 
anything in docs about it and my google-foo is failing. I don't really 
wanna modify each plugin..

I've currently disabled ePN as I'd like the thing to work for now. Is 
there a general guide anywhere on how to make ePN not be so annoying and

unusable? I tried to use it once before on a box that does several 
hundred checks but ended up turning it off as I couldn't get it to play 
nice, but would like to gain back some performance benefits if possible 
:-)

Cheers,

john
