Hi all, I have just been playing with Net::Ping recently and have a few questions that I need clarifing if any one has the time.
Firstly. I have a host using a 56k modem connection. When I ping these servers using the ping object.... $p = Net::Ping->new("icmp"); If the server that is being pinged doesn't respond it generates an error message. Then when I go and ping the supposedly failed server manually from a command prompt it responds. Does any one have any ideas as to why this is doing that? I have tried changing the time out to the maximum but this doesn't seem to work. With Net::Ping can I issue something that says... OK ping this server 5 times and if the server resonds 1 or more times out of the 5 then don't generate the error message. At the moment I think with net ping it only pings a machine once. If it doesn't respond then it sends and error message. Any ideas would be greatly appriciated.
