I understand. My question is that Net::Ping does not use that info at all. If a host is alive, it will be listed in the output no matter what port you specify. Is this a bug?
The module uses the port in several subroutines, like this $saddr = sockaddr_in($self->{"port_num"}, $ip); but I think there is an errata in the SYNOPSIS indeed, it should read $p->{port_num} = (getservbyname("http", "tcp"))[2]; -- fxn -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
