[Nagios-devel] Strange characters in plugin output when using perl

Hi,

I have debian etch, nagios 3.0a5, apache2 2.2.3-4, perl 5.8.8-7, gcc 4.1.2.

I make the plugin:

================

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

print "123456789|123456789";

exit 0;

==================

In epn_leave-msgs.log file, output is correct, but in web interface, show:

Status Information: H&#-18;'56789
Performace Data: 123456789

Change plugin to:

===================
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;

#add four spaces in start
print " 123456789|123456789";

exit 0;

=====================

In web show:

Status Information: &#-40;&#-61;-123456789
Performace Data: 123456789

Start is random. And, what character is negative in ASCII/HTML table ?
( is (
but
&#-40; is ???????????

Without perl embedded, all correct.

Thanks !
