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 29c6cd74081861f4bffe1f83943f5792 \ sha1 b4c77107cc490399cc0bcbc5dd24d66755e107e1 \ rmd160 5813385f2358a19754697a7ce02482f3758ed620 platforms darwin
