Jarkko: Thanks for the patch, but I do not have a 5.8.0 machine to test it on. I've also got some other Makefile.PL setting complaints that cause warn spewages on 5.8.0 from Mr Dyck, but he will not test the new code for some reason. Can you test out the cvs source tree for me to make sure it is clean on 5.8.0? Your patches have been applied:
cvs -z3 -q -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvsroot/freeware co Net-Ping cd Net-Ping perl Makefile.PL make make disttest My original request to Mr Dyck has been attached below for your reference. LET ME KNOW IF THIS WORKS OR NOT.

I made up the "constants" setting for the Makefile.PL stuff. I didn't realize that it was a valid option. I guess perl 5.8.0 wants to start using it though. Can you try version 0.20 from the CVS repository: cvs -z3 -q -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local/cvsroot/freeware co Net-Ping cd Net-Ping perl Makefile.PL make make disttest If it passes on perl 5.8.0, then I'll PAUSE it to CPAN. Either way, let me know what happens.
