[Nagiosplug-devel] New plugin interface for Perl plugins.

[Howard Wilkinson]

I am submitting a number of patches to the CVS head for the Perl 
plugins. Each of these relies on the accompanying modules, which have 
been written as the starting point for a new framework for Plugins. The 
modules have included POD which describes the workings of the Plugin 
module and the supporting Plugin::Parameter module. These should be seen 
as functional facilities that represent work in progress towards a more 
comprehensive solution. I intend when I have time to tackle the error 
reporting and Nagios output facilities for the framework and then to 
finally provide some additional run-time support as well as standard 
packaging for SNMP and other general plugin types.

I would welcome comments on my implementation and any upgrades that 
people feel may be appropriate. I apologise in advance for my verbose 
style of programming, but I like to be able to read my own code.

Regards, Howard.
