Why do you say the problem seems to be RedHat centric? You said earlier
that you had the same trouble on every distro you tried, including SuSE. 

Further, did you spend some time with the Perl debugger, tracking down
why the module seems to being loaded twice, as I suggested before?

There's a bit of confusion here, unfortunately.  Nessus clients and
servers communicate with each other using a protocol known as NTP
(Nessus Transfer Protocol); it's completely different from the other NTP
(Network Time Protocol), which is what Net::NTP handles. 

Further, Net::Nessus does not currently support SSL / TLS, at least not
directly.  [It does, though, when used with Net::Nessus::ScanLite.] This
means that, if your Nessus server is configured to encrypt traffic (the
default these days), Net::Nessus' tests will always fail.
