[mrtg] Calling an external program (mrtg 2.8.9)

[Doroff, Phil]

	Hey, first off great program to the author, and thanks for the help
in advance to all those on the list..  Hopefully I'm not asking something
that you've all been though a million times.  I did do a rather quick scan
of the archives, but I could have easily missed it..

I'm having trouble calling a simple perl script I wrote to nab my CPU
tempatures, and have mrtg graph them..

nature of the error is such:

Problem with Externale get '`/mrtg/temp.pl`':
    Expected an INTEGER for 'out' but got '27.5'

does that for both in and out..

my output from the perl script is:
(in code)
print "$temps{cpu0}\n";
print "$temps{cpu1}\n";
print "a very long time\n";
print "velocity.five-elements.com\n";

and how it looks...
--- snip ---
26.0
27.0
a very long time
velocity.five-elements.com
--- snip ---
 
And last but not least my config file...

WorkDir: /www/noc/htdocs/mrtg/temps
##################################################
Target[Velocity.CpuTemps]: `/mrtg/temp.pl`
MaxBytes1[velocity.cputemps]: 130
MaxBytes2[velocity.cputemps]: 130
Title[Velocity.CpuTemps]: Velocity CPU Tempuratures
PageTop[Velocity.CpuTemps]: <H1>CPU Temps</H1>
 Represents CPU Temps in degrees Celcius<P>
##################################################

I know it can be spruced up a bit, but I believe it should at least be
enough to start graphing?  *shrug*

the top line of the log files logs the two correct temps, but everything
underneath it remains a 0 0 0 0 across the board..

any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks much!
