[Memphis.pm] Net::Ping spawned from earlier discussion

[Durango]

Hi all,

I descided to look into Net::Ping as a replacement for what I have nmap 
doing in a perl script I'm hammering on.

I made a little test prog:
It yeilded the error message a little ways down...

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
 use Net::Ping;
my $host = "www.yahoo.com";

           $p = Net::Ping->new();
           print "$host is alive.\n" if $p->ping($host);
           $p->close();

[root at renegade /root]# ./plping.pl
Use of uninitialized value at /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-
linux/Socket.pm line 295.
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.

With out digging into Socket.pm - why is this error happening or any 
ideas is what I'm looking for.

My install is a Server install of RH 6.2
