in thread Solution to broken Net::Ping

What OS are you using? If Linux what version? What version of perl are you using? I feel like it has to be something wrong with my machine(s) now. I tried using my own script to ping google.com and I STILL got a failure.

    When I first posted I used Windows XP with Perl 5.10.1. I've just tried with Perl 5.10.0 in a Debian lenny VM.

    What happens when you try the same ping from the command line?

    True laziness is hard work
      It works fine, that is the odd part. You would think if it failed in perl it should fail in command line but it does not.
