Public bug reported:
In Ubuntu Bionic's Ping.pm a test of the used socket's version is done
numerically although the Socket.pm's version contains a special
character ("_") which causes this warning message:
Argument "2.020_03" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at
/usr/share/perl/5.26/Net/Ping.pm line 1801, <DATA> line 755.
Since Socket.pm is part of the same package, the test is not really useful
anymore. I suggest removing it quick'n dirty via the attached patch to get rid
of the warning while conserving the "old way".
** Affects: perl (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
