I am a web developer needing to monitor a vast array of servers with nagios and have to write some perl scripts for it.

Looking into it I found Nagios::Plugin package from CPAN, but the servers don't have it, and I am not allowed to do a CPAN install (not even sure all of them have it) much less do a make, make install.

I guess probably there's a way to just download the tarball, uncompress it, and include/require it withing your perl script, don't know maybe specifying the absolute path and such.

Thanks!

I found this script to look for the packages Nagios::Plugin, but to no avail
