Hi Monks, I am new to Perl, I have started studying a couple of books however I want to achieve something which is a out of my depth so I was wondering if someone could help me? I want to create a script in Perl, and run it initially on Windows. I want to be able to read IP addresses from a text file so I can change the IPs without editing the script, ping them once every few seconds and write failures only and Timestamps to another text file so I can easily see when drop outs occur. I have tried searching for this but have not been able to achieve it. I know this is asking a lot and I appreciate the help and the lesson.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
