hello, i have the same problem and hope it´s ok to post here.

i modify the check_esx3.pl with use Nagios::Monitoring::Plugin
i reinstall cpan -f -i Nagios::Monitoring::Plugin ( Nagios-Monitoring-Plugin-0.51.)
and get the same error message :


./check_esx3.pl -H xxx -u xxx -p xxx -l cpu
Can't locate Nagios/Plugin/Functions.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib64/perl5 /usr/local/share/perl5 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 .) at ./check_esx3.pl line 40.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./check_esx3.pl line 40.

i hope you can help me

i modify the check_esx3.pl with use Nagios::Monitoring::Plugin

If you did, you shouldn't be getting the error you describe..

Attached is a modified version please try that and report back

check_esx3.pl

please see screenshot

edit:

you are right, i put "use Nagios::Monitoring::Plugin;" on the wrong place.
with your file i get a new error

/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib64/perl5/auto/HTML/Parser/Parser.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Istack_sp_ptr

in a second vm i try it with the vmware 6.0 sdk and i get another error: (another try with sdk 5.5 with the same problem;(



CHECK_ESX3.PL CRITICAL - Server version unavailable at 'https://xxx:443/sdk/vimService.wsdl' at /usr/share/perl5/VMware/VICommon.pm line 726.



for me it does not matter which vmware sdk version I take
so i can use the vmware with sdk 6.5 or 6.0

ok, i found the problem.
the server is behind a firewall ping und ssh to the esxi host works
but after i check with elinks i see there is a another problem
in the firewall was a webfilter active.. that denied the Communication with check_esx3.pl
