[cobalt-developers] Problems with Net::Ping

[Jonas Pasche <jonas@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi there,

I just installed Net::Ping on a RaQ2 directly from CPAN and wrote a small 
script:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::Ping;
$proto = "udp";
$timeout = 2;
$host = "www.insert-host-here.com";
$p = Net::Ping->new($proto);
print "$host is reachable\n" if $p->ping($host, $timeout);
$p->close();

But when I execute it, it always aborts with the following error:

"Bad arg length for Socket::unpack_sockaddr_in, length is 0, should be 16 at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux/Socket.pm line 295."

On all other non-RaQ systems this seems to work fine. Any ideas? Is 
Socket.pm broken?

Thanks,
Jonas
