Nagios::Plugin and its associated Nagios::Plugin::* modules are a family of perl modules to streamline writing Nagios plugins. The main end user modules are Nagios::Plugin, providing an object-oriented interface to the entire Nagios::Plugin::* collection, and Nagios::Plugin::Functions, providing a simpler functional interface to a useful subset of the available functionality.

The purpose of the collection is to make it as simple as possible for developers to create plugins that conform the Nagios Plugin guidelines (http://nagiosplug.sourceforge.net/developer-guidelines.html).
