It seems to me the best way to avoid having to hax0r every script (which can be a real pain if you are hopping distributions/platforms) is to make cactid smarter by means of its conf file
perl /usr/bin/perl
php /usr/bin/php
sh /bin/sh
in your scripts you have...
<script_path>perl |path_cacti|/scripts/beer.pl</script_path>
so you match on the first word in script_path /^(w+).*?/ and then replace it with the coresponding path before actually running. It shouldn't break any scripts that have already been modified ("perl" doesn't match "/usr/bin/perl") and would make scripts that haven't been modified work plus thay then become more portable/universal.
I could easily do it in perl, unfortunately my C-foo is at least 10 years old
