Ok. Let's take a moment to think. You have the complete text from the first ping in $ping1. There are a number of carriage-returns, so you could, if you wanted to manipulate the lines in $ping1, do something like:

my @ping1 = split /\n/, $ping1;

At this point, you have all the lines. Apparently, you want to skip the first 3 lines and the last 5 lines. But, if there is an average, you want to grab that, as well. So, maybe do something like:

my @ping = split /\n/, $ping;
if (@ping > 9) {
    # Get the average using regex/split/whatever.
}
splice @ping, -5;
splice @ping, 0, 3;
print "\n";
print "$_\n" foreach @ping;
print "\n";

That should work, with a little finagling. I didn't test it and I figured you'll probably work with it a little.
