Re^2: Ping not working

If i run the code you posted with my $ip = qq(66.39.54.27);

Because there's only one item in the qw// list, that does not make a difference in this case; the list will return its last item.

use Data::Dumper;
my $ip1 = qw(172.16.1.2);
my $ip2 = qq(172.16.1.2);
my $ip3 = qw(172.16.1.2 172.16.1.3);
my $ip4 = qq(172.16.1.2 172.16.1.3);
print Dumper($ip1, $ip2, $ip3, $ip4);
__END__
$VAR1 = '172.16.1.2';
$VAR2 = '172.16.1.2';
Useless use of a constant ("172.16.1.2") in void context at - line 4.
$VAR3 = '172.16.1.3';
$VAR4 = '172.16.1.2 172.16.1.3';

"...toolic already pointed this out a little while ago." No. He wrote that he isn't sure. But perhaps i posted to fast, may be :-( But i'll take a look at what i did... Update: I tried the `qq` as well as the `qw` version on my Mac and it seems that both ping. I remember that i tried the same stuff on XP at noon but the `qw` version didn't work. But may be i miss something. Unfortunately i can't reproduce this on XP tonight. But i'll be back. And please note, when i concede a possible fault i did (because of answering to fast for some reason or what ever) i consider even one down vote as extremely impolite.

Yes, toolic did: "qw vs. qq will make no difference in this case". The "I'm not sure" refers to why you suggested it, because it makes no difference in this case.	[reply] [d/l]
