Problem with PING method

[Roboz Béla]

Hi All,       Please help me, Why the ping method in the prg. doesn't return a true value? I don't understand it.   Thanks: Beci   #!/usr/bin/perl -w use Socket; use Net::Ping;   $iaddr=inet_aton("127.0.0.1"); # or other address   $p = Net::Ping->new(); print "Host is alive" if $p->ping($iaddr); $p->close();
