One of the reasons that I always like the nph- construction is that is
showed the traceroute 'live' like it would from a console. Last I checked
perl doesn't show the traceroute result until the sessions complete which
could be a long time if there is trouble in the trace. Did you find a way
to get past that?

That would be great! Any idea when it will be ready?
