Have you tried setting the first argument of new to "icmp"? By default Net::Ping sends a udp packet on the echo port, while the ping command usually sends an icmp echo message.

    It works without flaw or delay. I had tried the tcp proto and it caused a demand for alarms. This is great. Many Thanks!
