With respect, not sure if Net::Ping will work based on how I'm reading the OP. As I understand it, he wants to log into a device and then issue the ping *from* that device. In the Cisco world, we call this "proxy ping" and there is an SNMP way to do this as well - connect to a remote device via SNMP, issue a ping from it to somewhere, and then get the results in SNMP reponse.
Net::Ping would work if the ping was coming from the device where the script is running, but I think you'd need it locally installed on the remote machine or better, just use system or backticks to execute ping from the remotely connected to machine to the target.
Of course, I could be misunderstanding the OP - without code or more detail, I'm just guessing as well.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
