=head1 NAME

Nagios::Plugin - Removed from CPAN by request of Nagios Enterprises, succeeded
by Monitoring::Plugin

=head1 EXPLANATION

Due to disagreements between the original authors of L<Nagios::Plugin> and
Nagios Enterprises, the authors of L<Nagios::Plugin> left the Nagios
Enterprises controlled Nagios Plugins Development Team and have continued
development in the L<Monitoring::Plugin> namespace - see also the new website
at http://monitoring-plugins.org/

The original code was left on CPAN with a deprecation notice attached but
a formal request was made to the PAUSE administrators by Nagios Enterprises
to remove it, and they chose to do so rather than risk them acting on their
threat to sue the people who ran the CPAN infrastructure if they didn't.

I believe that Nagios Enterprises also intend to continue the development of
the code under the Nagios Plugins Development Team banner.

Although the Nagios Plugins Development Team required a CLA assigning
copyright of the code to Nagios Enterprises, the PAUSE permissions remain
with the original authors of the code, this will also have to take place in a
different namespace. Unfortunately, at the time of writing, my request to
Nagios Enterprises for them to pick a namespace and tell me what it was has
not yet been replied to.

In the mean time, in order to minimise confusion for people who're just trying
to run monitoring systems, this tombstone release has been uploaded to
explain what's going on. If Nagios Enterprises provide me with a choice of
namespace, I'll make an updated tombstone release to reflect that, but I've
now been waiting six months so it's time to ship what information I do have.

This tombstone release is made by me, as a CPAN uploader, and not as an
official statement from the PAUSE administration - no PAUSE superpowers have
been involved in the uploading, merely a co-maint grant by the original authors
of the module on the grounds of "we're sick of Nagios Enterprises related
drama and would like it to go away".

Honestly, I'd've put it in the public domain but the idea of somebody
restributing it under the WTFPL amuses me too much.
