I think I probably missed your request

Today I tried the above directions, (although I modify the
Makefile.PL to add
'INSTALLDIRS' => 'perl',
I still get warnings from
dd:Net-Ping$ perl Makefile.PL
WARNING: constants takes a string/number not a hash reference.
Please inform the author.
Writing Makefile for Net::Ping
So I now have Net::Ping 2.20 installed on my machine
and repeated my tests
eg.
my $host = "wauna";
use Net::Ping;
my $p=Net::Ping->new("udp");
$p->source_verify( 0 );
$p->ping($host,1) || die "$host down";
where if I leave out the source_verify( 0 );
ping fails, since pinging wauna
returns the address for wauna-d, since
that is the interface on the network
dd:bin$ traceroute wauna
traceroute to wauna (129.196.180.6), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 msfc-agr-dc2-1-15-d (129.196.149.2) 13.401 ms 0.54 ms 0.521 ms
2 wauna-d (129.196.148.7) 0.387 ms * 0.38 ms
dd:bin$ traceroute wauna-d
traceroute to wauna-d (129.196.148.7), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 wauna-d (129.196.148.7) 17.995 ms * 0.374 ms
sudo make test passes all your tests also.
If you need some specific let me know,
my perl is a few days old v5.8.0 w Locally applied patches:
DEVEL17205
dd:bin$ ls -ld /usr/local/bin/perl
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 2393110 Jun 13 06:35 /usr/local/bin/perl*
I'd be glad to rsync and try again.
