I had the same problem (with embedded Perl interpreter)
Enclose the check_log2.pl in a shell command file and use this command file as plugin
# 'check_warn_log' command definition
define command{
          command_name    check_warn_log
#       command_line    $USER1$/check_log2.pl -l /var/log/warn -s /tmp/warn.seek -p $ARG1$
          command_line    $USER1$/debug_plugin.sh -l /var/log/warn -s /tmp/warn.seek -p $ARG1$
          }


---- debug_plugin.sh ----
#!/bin/bash
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins/check_log2.pl $*
exit $?
