this directory /usr/local/xymon/perl5  doesn't exist for me.

Clients are running Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS
Xymon server is running Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS

 I'm surprised it worked initially.  I had to add the following above the
other use statements:

use lib "/usr/local/xymon/perl5";

which is where I copied the Hobbit.pm file.   Unless /etc/perl is part of
your Perl @INC path, it won't find it.  I think I may even have tweaked
everything that said hobbit/bb to say xymon.

*Subject:* [Xymon] APT Check from Hobbit-Plugins Package - Purple Status

 Xymon Users & Admins,

I recently installed an apt check on my clients that I received from this
hobbit-plugins package:
https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hobbit-plugins

Steps for Installation:
1. Copy over client-ext/apt script to client/ext/apt
2. Gave xymon user rights to execute the apt script
3. Copy over perl/Hobbit.pm to /etc/perl/Hobbit.pm
4. Copy and pasted the lines found in clientlaunch.d/apt.cfg to the end of
client/etc/clientlaunch.cfg and modified the paths(ENVFILE & LOGFILE) to
fit my client's environment

The problem:
I set this up last week on friday jan 11th. At that time I ran the
client/ext/apt script as xymon user and it gave the report as expected.
However, after the weekend the last report was the same one on the 11th so
I am receiving a purple status for inactivity of the report. The clients
are not automatically sending the apt check report to the server. Anything
I missed in the installation or something I have to do server side?

Any response appreciated
Thanks,
