Yes that what should be done. If I'm not wrong, in Debian itself there
are only two reverse dependencies which would need an update. One is
nagios-plugin-contrib which already has a patch to use Nagios::Plugin,
so this patch can just be dropped when libmonitoring-plugin-perl
enters unstable. The other is nagios-plugin-rabbitmq, which would need
to be patched.

I'm sorry that it took that much time to upload the package. It was my
plan to prepare the package soon an then other stuff got in the way :(

When looking at the package some two months ago, I got the impression
providing a transition layer for users of libnagios-plugin-perl (i.e.
injecting according function and variable names into Perl's namespace)
means a lot of painful work and still has some pitfalls. So in my
opinion: While of course it was nice to ease these peoples' life, it's
not worth to spend too much effort on that, and I'd rather advise them
to change their code, it's the saner thing to do anyway.

Did this for my nagi^W monitoring checks using a preliminary packaging
of Monitoring::Plugins. And I'm glad to hear this transitional
situation will come to an end.

Well actually not, since we have different namespaces. I'm uploading
shortly to the NEW queue.

I have something ready, I only miss the replacing part for
libnagios-plugin-perl via a transitional package.

Thanks for pinging me again!

Are there any status updates on this ITP as I'm also interested in
packaging this module?

Just a quick note to the ITP bug: I still plan to work on preparing
that module and properly let it replace libnagios-plugin-perl.

  Description : family of perl modules to streamline writing Monitoring 
plugins

Monitoring::Plugin and its associated Monitoring::Plugin::* modules are a
family of perl modules to streamline writing Monitoring plugins. The main end
user modules are Monitoring::Plugin, providing an object-oriented interface
to the entire Monitoring::Plugin::* collection, and
Monitoring::Plugin::Functions, providing a simpler functional interface to a
useful subset of the available functionality.

The purpose of the collection is to make it as simple as possible for
developers to create plugins that conform the Monitoring Plugin guidelines
(https://www.monitoring-plugins.org/doc/guidelines.html).
