Prowl - Get all your Growl notifications pushed to your iPhone! (even TWITTER!)

I've almost got it working with nagios, however the prowl.pl is giving me an error when nagios tries to run. Here is my config for notification and below is the error in nagios.log:

define command{
command_name notify-host-by-prowl
command_line /usr/local/bin/prowl.pl -apikey="$CONTACTADDRESS4$" -application="Nagios" -event="Host" -notification="$HOSTNAME$ $SERVICEDESC$ '$SERVICEOUTPUT$'"
}

define command{
command_name notify-service-by-prowl
command_line /usr/local/bin/prowl.pl -apikey="$CONTACTADDRESS4$" -application="Nagios" -event="Service" -notification="$HOSTNAME$ $SERVICEDESC$ '$SERVICEOUTPUT$'"
}

[1247160672] **ePN failed to compile /usr/local/bin/prowl.pl: "Missing right curly or square bracket at (eval 1) line 95, at end of line
syntax error at (eval 1) line 102, at EOF" at /usr/sbin/p1.pl line 159.

Wow, that got my attention. Any luck with Nagios? It'd be cool to integrate with Keynote as well.

@mzac - I ran into that problem, too - basically you have to use the perl binary on your system to run the prowl script, because nagios' built-in perl interpreter chokes on it. See my blog post for more details.

Great app....and lots of fun if you use HardwareGrowler.....like "Warning somebody unplugged your external HDD" and so on...
