I am using Net::Ping to get a host's response time:
use strict;
use warnings;
use Net::Ping;
my $ping = Net::Ping->new('icmp',2);
$ping->hires;
my ($ret1,$delay1,undef) = $ping->ping($local);
print "($ret1,$delay1)\n";
$local is the IP of a host on the local network.
I get $ret always == 1 (so the ping was "successful"). $delay1 can be 0, 2.0, or some reasonable delay. The host is not "close" so a 0 second delay is unreasonable. A delay of 2.0 clearly means the host is not reachable. What is the difference between 0 and 2 given that $ret is always 1?

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).
