problem check_dell plugin

[Seth Simmons]

I think my mistake might have been not configuring correctly for nrpe;
I've never used a perl plugin before.

I came across another dell om plugin
(http://folk.uio.no/trondham/software/check_openmanage.html) that is
executable and got it to work with nrpe.

My guess is that the path environment is different when run under 
Nagios, and check_dell.pl can't find the Dell OpenManage software. I'm 
not sure exactly how it works on Unix, but the Windows version of 
check_dell uses OpenManage to actually do the checking.
