%description
Net::Ping::External is a module which interfaces with the "ping" command on
many systems. It presently provides a single function, 'ping()', that takes
in a hostname and (optionally) a timeout and returns true if the host is
alive, and false otherwise. Unless you have the ability (and willingness)
to run your scripts as the superuser on your system, this module will
probably provide more accurate results than Net::Ping will.

Why?

* ICMP ping is the most reliable way to tell whether a remote host is alive.

* However, Net::Ping cannot use an ICMP ping unless you are running your
script with privileged (AKA "root") access.

* The system's "ping" command uses ICMP and does not usually require
privileged access.

* While it is relatively trivial to write a Perl script that parses the
output of the "ping" command on a given system, the aim of this module is
to encapsulate this functionality and provide a single interface for it
that works on many systems.
