It presently provides a single function, +ping(), that takes in a hostname and (optionally) a timeout and +returns true if the host is alive, and false otherwise. Unless you +have the ability (and willingness) to run your scripts as the +superuser on your system, this module will probably provide more +accurate results than Net::Ping will. + +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Net-Ping-External/ + +- Douglas Thrift +douglas@douglasthrift.net |
