What I see is an conflict is the arguments in the command definition and the arguments in the service check's arguments.

Your command line is

command_line    $USER1$/check_port.pl -p $ARG1$ -h $HOSTADDRESS$

And the service check command is this

check_command check_port.pl! -p 80 -h www.google.com '-w 1 -c 2 -v'

It is specifying the -p and the -h option twice in the command which is causing the error.

Change the command line to this for the command

command_line    $USER1$/check_port.pl $ARG1$

Change the check command for the service like this.

check_command check_port.pl! -p 80 -h www.google.com -w 1 -c 2 -v

Then try it out and see if it works.

It's working now, thanks a lot for the suggestion. Details - but they could be annoying
