Potentially, Net::Ping::External, together with the 'external' protocol should accomplish the same.

    So Net::Ping ::External it is. At least it doesn't rub the delay in your face.

    500 ms is indeed a long time and I'd be delighted to try faster methods of testing connectivity to the Internet. It doesn't need to be a specific server, I just used Google, because it's mostly available when you want it and even if you don't.

    Thanks

    Steve
