Re: Trouble with Net::Pingby Dragonfly (Priest) |

After reading through the comments in this thread it is striking to me how many people out there have had problems using Net::Ping. Tye's post and link to the previous discussion also seems to indicate that numerous workarounds have been needed to correctly ping from within Perl. I also recently had this problem, last week in fact, when I had to write a quickie to scan my subnet for live boxes, and I resolved it somewhat unsatisfactorily by running my script from a Windows 98 box using ICMP. This is fine but I would have preferred to run the script as a nonprivileged user on my BSD box. I'd like to see it get patched, perhaps, but I don't know enough to figure it out myself. *chuckle* Update: I bought a couple C and C++ books, so perhaps one day I will be ready to take a look at the module. Someday...
