in reply to Piping and Parallel Forks

Hi adambot maybe your code is better and more portable written using Net::DNS and Net::Ping? The first one lets does nslookup from inside perl code and the second one checks for connection to hosts (using icmp, udp and tcp "pings").

    I didn't realize that those even existed. I'll look into those ASAP. Thanks for the tips on using the modules and for the link on multithreading net::Ping. I should be able to take it from here.

    is there a nmap module? (i didn't see one in core, and i am still learning where to look otherwise)

      To find modules, http://search.cpan.org, the search page of the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network, is sufficient most of the times. To install modules, running cpan Name::Of::The::Module from a terminal window / command prompt is sufficient most of the times -- unless you use ActivePerl, where things are a little bit different.
