Hello! I started to use Perl after a half year and I am trying to ping a website. But it not working. I can't ping it, it prints "Not working". When I try with system() it works, but I want to do it with Net::Ping. I also tried with icmp but it prints error, too: "icmp socket error - Bad file descriptor at line 11 " (line 11 is $p = Net::Ping->new('icmp');) what can I do with it? Am I wrong? Or is it a bug?

Thanks for help! My code is: 
use Net::Ping;

$url = <>;
$p = Net::Ping->new();
if ($p->ping($url)) {
    print "working";
}
else {print "not working"; }
