Is there any reason that you can't use the Net::Ping module?

Perhaps you want something like this:

open my $PIPE, '-|', 'C:\t4ecltbundle\T4ePortPing', 'localhost', '3232
+'
    or die "Cannot open pipe from T4ePortPing $!";

my %data;
while ( <$PIPE> ) {
    $data{ host }     = $1 if /^Host:\s+(.+)/;
    $data{ conntime } = $1 if /^Connection time:\s+(.+)/;
    $data{ connhost } = $1 if /^Connected host:\s+(.+)/;
    $data{ connport } = $1 if /^Connected port:\s+(.+)/;
    $data{ errcode }  = $1 if /^Error code:\s+(.+)/;
    $data{ errtext }  = $1 if /^Error text:\s+(.+)/;
    }

close $PIPE or warn $! ? "Error closing T4ePortPing pipe: $!"
                       : "Exit status $? from T4ePortPing";

print join ',', @data{ 'host', 'conntime' };
exit 0;
