in reply to Net::Ping duration question

Try setting 
$p->hires(1);

before the ping call. This will cause Net::Ping to use Time::HiRes, and return a Float, instead of using normal (1 second) resolution, and returning an Integer.

Of course, this requires Time::HiRes to be installed/available.

Update: Dang - frozenwithjoy (++) has a higher Res, and beat me to the punch.

    Come on up here with me. There's plenty of glory to go around and no one I'd rather share it with more than you!

    edit: Oh noes! down-voted! I guess I better stop enjoying myself while I'm spending my time helping people out. ^___^
