C:\temp>perl -MNet::Ping -e "print $Net::Ping::VERSION";
2.63
Fails with 
getaddrinfo(192.168.10.991,,AF_INET) failed - nodename nor servname pr
+ovided, or not known at C:\temp\ip.pl line 5.


However, If I replace Ping.pm with version 
    C:\temp>perl -MNet::Ping -e "print $Net::Ping::VERSION";
    2.43
It Is successful.
C:\temp>ip.pl
    Result: Ping: 192.168.10.991 => #### UNPINGABLE ####
    
Should this be raised as a bug?


#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::Ping;
$IP="192.168.10.991";
    $p = Net::Ping->new("icmp");
    if ($p->ping($IP)) {
       $RESULT="Ping: $IP => alive";
    }
    else{
        $RESULT= "Ping: $IP => #### UNPINGABLE ####";
    }
    $p->close();
    print "Result: $RESULT\n";
