You may want to have a look at the snippet of code which I posted in the thread Iterate network hosts - Using this code, you could ping a range of hosts specified by network and subnet mask with the following code:

use Net::Netmask;
use Net::Ping::External qw/ ping /;

ping( 'host' => $_ ) for ips( '10.0.0.0/29' );

sub ips {
    my $net = Net::Netmask->new(@_);
    wantarray ? $net->enumerate : \@{$net->enumerate};
}

perl -le 'print+unpack("N",pack("B32","00000000000000000000001000100110"))'
