Hi there

I want to replace in my script the system call to ping with Net::ping but the response times seem to be incorrect.

used code:

use Net::Ping;
use Time::HiRes;
  
$host = "213.155.3.25";

# High precision syntax (requires Time::HiRes)
$p = Net::Ping->new();
$p->hires();
($ret, $duration, $ip) = $p->ping($host, 5.5);
 printf("$host [ip: $ip] is alive (packet return time: %.2f ms)\n",
1000 * $duration)
if $ret;
$p->close();

exit;

On local machine ping +/- 162ms, via script 1495.149 msec. Me in NL, server in Russia.

If I do the same with a machine in my local network (192.168.1.133)

On local machine ping +/- 1ms, via script 1007.297 msec

Que pasa?
