That's a great idea! And by some shocking coincidence, we just happen to have a perl-qa Wiki for you to add this to. :) http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/cgi-bin/perl-qa-wiki.cgi > Also, how does one test Net::Ping when we can't guarantee a server to ping? We can't. Not unless we can persuade Jarkko to add a "Do you have a working network connection?" Configure question. But we can check that all the methods are there, that ping failure works gracefully (there's a class of guaranteed bogus IPs, I think) and that the timeouts work. And, we *can* write tests that test pinging if there is a network connection. And they can go into the CPAN module and be skipped in the core. -- Michael G.
