You might want to try
install CPAN
reload cpan
to both upgrade CPAN.pm and run the new version without leaving
the current session.

This is not a nagios related question, but we can try to lend a hand... Looks like you are missing the (Tiny) perl module, Redis likely has prerequisites that need to be installed prior to installing it. I'd recommend you research those and get them installed first.

Hi Slansing,

Thanks for your reply,

I've downloaded check_redis.pl file from http://exchange.nagios.org/directory/Pl ... pl/details, when I run this I am getting this error please explain me to get rid out of this. Thanks,
Kishore.

EDIT: Hi All,

I got success by did below,

Excellent, glad to see you got it working. In the future before asking here, I'd recommend you contact the group that produces the software you are trying to use. They would probably be able to help quicker than us on issues related to their software...
