It \ presently provides a single function, 'ping()', \ that takes in a hostname and (optionally) a timeout \ and returns true if the host is alive, and false \ otherwise. Unless you have the ability (and \ willingness) to run your scripts as the superuser \ on your system, this module will probably provide \ more accurate results than Net::Ping will. checksums md5 de9fd436c6749e1a2330eae4aae856fb \ sha1 e1a689b2cc24b40319ce2165f64710da291f546c platforms darwin
