Re: IPV6 ping code not working

my $ping = Net::Ping->new('icmpv6', 'ipv6');

That is not a valid call to the constructor:

$ perl -MNet::Ping -e 'my $ping = Net::Ping->new(q/icmpv6/, q/ipv6/);'
Protocol for ping must be "icmp", "udp", "tcp", "syn", "stream", or "e
+xternal" at -e line 1.

at least not in version 2.43 which is what I have installed here.

Does the hostname `virt-titan-17` actually resolve to a v6 address? In other words, can you successfully `ping6 virt-titan-17` successfully?	[reply] [d/l] [select]
