Yeah, Net::Ping is one of those modules that it is really good to have network connectivity to test it. Actually, that is Net::Ping's entire purpose, to determine reachabilty of a remote host across a network. I felt it was appropriate to test this functionality within the "make test". Plug in your Internet and try again. Or else set the PERL_CORE environment variable to 1 before running "make test" again, and it should skip the network tests.
Oh, and make sure you can at least ping yourself. $ ping localhost -- Rob ---------- Original Message ---------- Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 11:10:11 +0100 (CET) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FAIL Net-Ping-2.28 i386-freebsd-64int 4.6-stable This distribution has been tested as part of the cpan-testers effort to test as many new uploads to CPAN as possible.
