I just posted my self and got a good answer that the problem is not 
nagios 1.2. :)

Lets try it manually.

This is the command string you are using?

$USER2$/bin/perfparse_nagios_command.pl $USER2$/var/perfdata-service.log 
"$TIMET$" "$HOSTNAME$" "$SERVICEDESC$" "$OUTPUT$" "$SERVICESTATE$" 
"$PERFDATA$"

$ perl perfparse_nagios_command.pl /tmp/test "1101131232" "rlswas1c" 
"CPU load" "CPU Load 0% (5 min average) OK" "'5 min avg 
Load'=0%;50;75;0;100"

No, I get the correct output:

1101131232      rlswas1c        CPU load        CPU Load 0% (5 min 
average) OK  '5 min avg Load'=0%;50;75;0;100


If you have the time, I would be very interested in knowing if you get 
the same problem using 'Method 1':
