I'm replying to several messages now, not just yours one.

First, when speaking (first) on English list and (second) about subject involving
non-Polish speaker, use English.
(I'm CCing -pl now, so all people interested will see this - but please follow
just on -en)

Second - to state what this thread is about:
http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/embeddedperl.html

This is official Nagios feature.
Using it has some advantages and disadvantages. When enabled at build
time, it can be disabled at runtime in several ways (either globally
in Nagios configuration, or per-script) - there stays only some (small
for modern systems) memory footprint. When disabled at build time, it
can't be enabled at runtime.

Globally disabling some feature, which - if problematic - can be
disabled locally is hardly "fixing a bug".

And finally - if cieciwa would just tell, WHICH script is incompatible
with ePN, then the bug could be fixed at its source or at least
identified.

If many scripts are problematic, we could ship Nagios with epn
configured in such way, that it requires +epn marker in ePN-compatible
scripts and then mark with it all shipped scripts which are compatible.
