I tested the following command from the command line ~

/usr/bin/ssh -l nagios host1 chkAdminServer.pl

and it returns OK with an exit code of 0.  Great.

When I put it into the following service definition, I get a Status
UNKNOWN with STATUS INFORMATION (No Output)

define service{
 name                            check_adminserver
 service_description             AdminServer
 use                             hg.prod.check_5min
 host                            host1,host2
 contact_groups                  systemgrp
 check_command
check_command_ssh!/path/to/perl/script/bin/chkAdminServer.pl!
}

The check command definition is really simple also ~

define command{
 command_name    check_command_ssh
 command_line    /usr/bin/ssh -l nagios $HOSTADDRESS$ $ARG1$
}
If you are trying to ssh to another server and kick off the command there use check_by_ssh as follows:

# check-remote-load
define command{
        command_name    check-remote-load
        command_line    $USER1$/check_by_ssh -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -C "$USER1$/check_load 
-w $ARG1$ -c $ARG2$"
        }

In your example, put the chkAdminServer.pl scripts in the nagios plugins directory on the target, e.g. /usr/lib/nagios/plugins then set the $USER1$ variable to the same. Then, su - nagios of your nagios box and ssh target /usr/lib/nagios/plugins/chkAdminServer.pl.
