Here is what nagios.log tells me:

[1232880371] Local time is Sun Jan 25 11:46:11 CET 2009
[1232880371] LOG VERSION: 2.0
[1232880371] Error: p1.pl file required for embedded Perl interpreter is 
missing!
[1232880371] Bailing out due to errors encountered while initializing 
the embedded Perl interpreter. (PID=59302)
[1232880958] Caught SIGTERM, shutting down...
[1232880958] Successfully shutdown... (PID=7489)

Perhaps it's built but not installed properly?
