I used this command to install Nagios::Plugins on multiple servers months/weeks before:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Nagios::Plugin'

Now I get this error message:

Reading '/root/.cpan/Metadata' Database was generated on Mon, 27 Apr 2015 00:29:02 GMT Warning: Cannot install Nagios::Plugin, don't know what it is.

As far as I can tell, the module is still in CPAN: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Nagios-Plugin/

What´s wrong?

Nagios::Plugins was renamed to Monitoring::Plugins due to trademark reason. cpan doesn't index Nagios::Plugins anymore. Now you must install Monitoring::Plugin

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Monitoring::Plugin'

Or you can install it via cpanm. First install cpanm:

curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus

and then install the module

cpanm Monitoring::Plugin
