best way to call traceroute
I want to call traceroute to the remote_host from within a mod_perl script, being a C/C++ programmer I don't the best way to do that. Is there a traceroute object I could use? If so, how? Otherwise how do I run traceroute from within a perl script? Sam

This works for me, showing the results as they come, under Apache::Registry.
my $r = shift;
$r-content_type('text/html');
$r-send_http_header;
...
$|=1;
if (open (FILE, "/usr/sbin/traceroute $host 21 |")) {
print while FILE;
close FILE;
}
I think there's a Net::Traceroute on CPAN, might want to check that out to
avoid the fork.
