I have written a script using Win32::PingICMP and everything seems to working properly. When I use the following address 128.231.013.057 via my script it claims the ping is successful however when I ping it through my machine its unsuccessful. I'm either missing something huge or maybe there is a problem with the module. If anyone can help out it would be greatly appreaciated. Here is my code:
use strict; use warnings; use CGI; use Win32::PingICMP; my $q = new CGI; my %info; foreach my $param ($q->param){ $info{$param} = $q->param($param);} print $q->header(); my $JSCRIPT; my $p = Win32::PingICMP->new(); if ($p->ping($info{ipaddress})) { $JSCRIPT= "alert(\"Ping Successful for " . $p->details->{host} . " +\");\n";} else{ $JSCRIPT = "alert(\"Ping unsuccessful: " . $p->details->{status} . + "\");\n";} $JSCRIPT.= "window.location=\"subnet.pl?subnetid=$info{subnetid}&statu +s_id=$info{status_id}\";"; print $q->start_html(-script => $JSCRIPT); print $q->end_html();
