NAME
    Nagios::Plugin::DieNicely - Die in a Nagios output compatible way

SYNOPSIS
      use Nagios::Plugin::DieNicely;

      ... your plugin code goes here ...

      use Nagios::Plugin::DieNicely 'WARNING';

      ... now if you die, you will get a Nagios WARNING state ...

DESCRIPTION
    When your Nagios plugins, or the modules that they use raise an
    exception with *die*, *croak* or *confess*, the exception gets lost, and
    Nagios treats the output as an UNKNOWN state with no output from the
    plugin, as STDERR gets discarded by Nagios.

    This module overrides perl's default behaviour of using exit code 255
    and printing the error to STDERR (not Nagios friendly). Just using for
    exit code 2 (Nagios CRITICAL), and outputing the error to STDOUT with
    "CRITICAL - " prepended to the exception. Note that you can change the
    CRITICAL for WARNING, or even OK (not recommended)

USE
    Just *use* the module. If you want a Nagios error code other that
    CRITICAL, then use the module passing one of: *WARNING*, *OK*,
    *UNKNOWN*. *CRITICAL* can be passed too (just for completeness).

      use Nagios::Plugin::DieNicely 'WARNING';
      use Nagios::Plugin::DieNicely 'UNKNOWN';
      use Nagios::Plugin::DieNicely 'CRITICAL';
      use Nagios::Plugin::DieNicely 'OK';

TODO
     - Get the shortname of the module through Nagios::Plugin if it is beeing used
     - Issue perl warnings to STDOUT, and possbily issue WARNING or CRITICAL
