in reply to Net::Ping broken on Solaris?

When I first got to Solaris from HP I missed my old flags...

Just a stab, but I suspect the '-e' flag is the culprit, although I could be off at this hour.

    That one-liner is a... condensation of mine of a full-fledged script, that doesn't work either. So -e isn't the culprit, definitely.

    Thanks anyway for trying to help

    Ciao!

    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

      I've got some boxes. What version, patch-level, hardware, etc.?

      I feel like helping in my own sloth-type way if you don't mind.

      Ask the sysadmins? Maybe someone got 'slick' and replaced ping or some other bin/lib w/their own (devious) routines. I doubt it but it happened to me once or twice in a sub-par shop.
