Hello,

I have a custom check_snmp check that I use for Nagios that works great when called via the command line, but when used with the embedded perl interpreter in Nagios I am getting an error showing that the "Service check did not exit properly."

I turned on debugging on the embedded perl for Nagios and found that the embedded Perl interpreter cannot find Net::SNMP in @INC. However, I have verified that it is indeed in my path, and it is the latest version...

ERROR:
Wed Mar 14 17:36:59 2012 eval_file: syntax error in /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_snmp.pl: "Can't locate Net/SNMP.pm in @INC (@INC contains:

Does anyone have any experience with this?
