Net::Ping::External is a module which interfaces with the "ping"
|
|
command on many systems. 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.
