[Nagiosplug-help] Compiling contribs and Perl commands

[Subhendu Ghosh]

gcc -o check_dhcp check_dhcp.c

check_dhcp need to be setuid root because it needs to open a privileged 
port on port 68.  

.pl perl files do not need to be compiled - set the execute bit (chmod +x) 
on the file permissions, and make sure the first line points to a valid 
version of perl.
