    There are a couple of ways to do this.

    The simplest would just be to do a ping in an exec, like:

    @results = `ping host.com`;

    If you want to get really robust, use the Net::Ping module, available from CPAN.

    Check it out here: http://search.cpan.org/~bbb/Net-Ping-2.31/lib/Net/Ping.pm

    Hope this helps...
