Net-Ping - check a remote host for reachability
Download a release from CPAN using your favorite tool, such as cpanm, or else from https://metacpan.org/release/Net-Ping and then unpack the tar.gz file.
You're most welcome to contribute, in which case cloning or forking the git repo at https://github.com/rurban/net-ping is a good place to start.
To build and install, just incant the typical mantra:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
