We write that, with the full path. That is what led us to the wrapper solution: # su -m -c nagios nagios c "/usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_raid_dell" Can't locate utils.pm in @INC (@INC contains: nagios /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/BSDPAN /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8 .) at /usr/local/libexec/nagios/check_raid_dell line 17.
