I just installed nagios to a Cent 5.4 box. Everything is working so far except I want to add a plugin I found on nagios exchange. The file has a .pl extension. I am unsure how to add the plugin to the rest of nagios. Do I need to add it to a nagios folder and then define it. If I just try to run the pl file I get a error mesg. I am unsure if the error is caused by system misconfig or because the plugin is not installed. The plugin is check_dayime.pl and the error I get is Can't locate Date/Parse.pm
Perl seems to be working as I can run simple perl scripts and perl -v spits out v 5.8.8

The error is very clear...you don't have the Date/parse module. Go to CPAN, download it, and install it.
Thanks
I added the cpan module and now the .pl file runs.
I am still unsure how to make the plugin work with nagios but at least now I know the plugin works.

No problem. There should be documentation on the Nagios site, about getting plug-ins to work, as well as docs that came with the plug-in.
