Bad news. I just got my Solaris 8 box back up today and
tried Net::Ping 2.24. Here are the results with Perl 5.8.0.
Perl 5.6.1 had the same results:
test Net::Ping
Running test for module Net::Ping
Running make for B/BB/BBB/Net-Ping-2.24.tar.gz
Is already unwrapped into directory
/export/home1/users/bzajac/.cpan/build/Net-Ping-2.24
