Apart from that, looks like a perfectly legitimate >threaded multi-host pinger :) Also keep in mind that the pings will seem to go out at the same time some linearization will take place either on the CPU or the network layer. If the number of hosts pinged is not too large then you are OK , if it grows too much , say above 100 ( a wild guess here ) then you will also have a problem with the thread initialization time, which can be substantial. -- Angelos Karageorgiou Masters of Computer Science City University of New York http://www.unix.gr _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
