# Net-Ping
Net-Ping - check a remote host for reachability
## DOWNLOAD AND INSTALLATION
Download a release from CPAN using your favorite tool, such as cpan,
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
make test may fail with your particular firewall settings, and for ICMP
ping you need to sudo as root, so don't be worried if some tests fail.
Force install it then.
