Summary: check_rpc return code on false libpath

Initial Comment:
Hi, 

I noticed a problem with check_rpc.

If check_rpc can't find the utils.pm package in the given libpath (e.g. the utils.pm is not in lib "/usr/local/nagios/libexec";) and check_rpc is executed in nagios, the return code in Nagios is 2 -> Critical and the Plugin Output shown in Nagios only shows (null).

The correct behaviour should be:
Status: Unknown (3)
Output: Can't find utils.pm in lib path.

I spent nearly a whole day finding the reason why check_rpc did not work. 
It took so long to find out, because I didn't get any error when executing it manually in the shell (the utils.pm was in the working directory). 

A perl error message an a status Unknown could have saved me a lot of time.

PS: I used version from 1.4.9

regards, 

Volker
