Re^3: using -T doesn't work

This is most likely because you did not clean up $ENV{PATH} to be secure. Most likely, if your Unix installation is a standard installation, the following should work at the top of your script:

$ENV{PATH} = '/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin';

If that doesn't work, you need to find out in which directory the ping executable lives, and put the name of that directory into $ENV{PATH} instead.

My instructions said: If that doesn't work, you need to find out in which directory the ping executable lives, and put the name of that directory into $ENV{PATH} instead. So, did you try the following: `$ENV{PATH} = '/sbin';` [download] at the top of your script? If so, what do you mean by Does not work ? In what way does it not work? Does it report all hosts as reachable ? All hosts as unreachable? Does it claim that the ancient gods of Egypt will conquer the world tomorrow when you know that their uprising is scheduled for next year?	[reply] [d/l]

yes, I tried that - I get the same result when I run the code: Insecure dependency in connect while running with -T switch at /usr/libdata/perl5/Net/Ping.pm line 914.	[reply]
