Now more efficient and no longer redundant.
Additionally, it should be noted that Net::Ping::new() defaults to TCP, therefore any "dead" repository merely failed to reply to a TCP ping. Some "dead" domains will reply to alternative protocol pings (eg SourceForge does not reply to TCP, but does reply to ICMP).
