#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; my $hping; my $hping_compare; my @hping_array = ();
for (1 .. 5){ $hping = `sudo hping3 www.microsoft.com -S -p 80 -c 1`; push @hping_array,(split'\ ',$hping)[15]; } $hping_compare = $hping_array[0]; foreach (@hping_array){ if ($_ le $hping_compare){ print "Appears to be load balancing\n"; } elsif ($_ ge $hping_compare){ print "Appears to be load balancing\n"; } else{ print "Does not appear to be load balancing\n"; } } So now there is my new code. It all runs as expected and the with the suggestions of Uri. The problem still remains that I cannot find any documentation or search results on how one would compare as I have asked from the beginning. I need the ge value to be greater than by 100. If it is not greater than by 100, then it is a different value. With that in mind. Is it possible to do such a comparison? I need to do such an evaluation on the elsif above. in pseudocode it would be: If (the current array element is 100 or more greater than the base array element){ print " Appears to be load balancing\n" } -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
