People,
I am trying to use an intranet Linux box as an aid to networking folks.
OK, I'm also trying to show off Linux.
Anyway, I have a Perl script, using Net::Ping, etc., and it doesn't seem
to be working. I am not a PERL guru, obviously.
my $rtn = $pg->ping(\$sname);
returns zero.
my $saddr = gethostbyname($sname);
printf "\n%s: 0x%X\n", $sname, $saddr;
if ($saddr == 0) {
print "address is zero\n";
}
else {
printf "Actual address is:$i\n", $saddr;
};
says the address is zero.
In bash, ping works fine.
What am I missing? What does Perl need that ping doesn't?
Do they use different services to get the info?
