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. use_zip yes checksums md5 83710568eb209598a04674b18986b049 \ sha1 aa6aae1b1cd33106ec2452376e848014ff6c61f8 \ rmd160 f74248cc7232c1b08d5ba9f7d5a70600d3a5f953 platforms darwin supported_archs noarch
