Hey guys, I've been playing with Perl, and I've built a simple ICMP Ping sweep program that accepts start and end IP, and pings every host in between.
Question I have is, I want to reduce the time it takes to do so, I was considering spawning a processes for X number of hosts to ping. So, say I want to ping 10.8.0.0 - 10.8.2.0, I'd spawn 2 processes for the tasks, one for each 255 host block. Thing is, I don't know how to do this, properly, and explanations of Fork() seemed to be not very friendly to MS based Perl programming. Any suggestions? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
