Try grabbing Net::PingImproved, which is unsurprisingly an improved version of Net::Ping (duh!), and installing it either in the perl lib directory if you know what you are doing, or in the same directory as your perl scripts that you are working with if you don't or don't have access to the perl library directory. If necessary, add use lib directives to help locate this file.

(And I wouldn't say that Windows is a bad word here as much as it is on /.; there's a unix bent here, but perl development on Windows is certainly not hampered as much as other languages, thanks to the work of ActiveState perl. And besides, it beats using VB!! :D)
