look at mini_epn in the nagios/contrib directory - no need for a secondary 
installation.

Yes, the restrictions are only for embedded perl, but the performance 
gains of ePN are pretty large so all the standard plugins should support 
ePN. 

Named subroutins are fine - just not nested named subroutines...  I'll 
update the docs to reflect the change.

I have a preference for verbose naming as well although in this particular 
case, I might have been confused between CIM the tecnology for DMTF and 
the compaq insight manager.
