The normal configure/make  process provides all the correct pathnames.
FindBin is not used as it uses the BEGIN block which doesn not work in 
embedded persistent Perl environments like ePN and mod_perl.

"No output" is from Nagios, not the plugin. the plugin is being found and 
is executable by the Nagios user (otherwise error 127) 

What version of the plugin are you using?
