Yes, see below..

I do not believe that there is, at least for OK states. For non-OK  
states. is_volatile _might_ work for you --

These errors mean that you have compiled nagios with the embedded perl  
interpreter enabled. That means that perl programs executed by nagios  
must satisfy a higher standard of design to run (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/epnplugins.html 
). This program does not. You have several options --

1) Disable use of ePN for this plugin specifically by changing the  
command line 'command_line /path/to/perl $USER1$/...' were path/to/ 
perl is the path to your perl binary or
2) If using nagios-3, include the text '# nagios: -epn' within your  
plugin (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/embeddedperl.html) or
3) if using nagios-3, disable implicit use of the ePN (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html#use_embedded_perl_implicitly 
) or
4) if using nagios-3, disable use of ePN globally (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/configmain.html#enable_embedded_perl 
)
