Hello,

trying to install plugin Check_vmware_api.pl I had some error messages:

#cpan Nagios:: Plugin

Code: Select all

My OS is debian and I already try to reinstall CPAN, typing command #perl -MCPAN -e 'install Nagios::Plugin'

But I still have this messages...

any idea?

Many thanks for your help

Nagios::Plugin doesn't exist in the cpan directory system anymore. This is why you are unable to install it through cpan.

Could you try running the following:

Code: Select all

apt-get install libnagios-plugin-perl

And see if ./check_vmware_api.pl works as intended? This solved the problem on my Debian 7 system.

If it's still giving you trouble after installing the libnagios-plugin-perl package, you could also try installing HTTP:Date and LWP::UserAgent through cpan.
