Help with Perl

« on: October 15, 2012, 02:02:51 PM »

Hello all. I am trying to mess with Perl a bit and am trying to put together a ping script but for some reason I am not getting the desired result. I just want to come up with a simple scrip that will ping a range of IP addresses and tell me if they are active or not. Below is what I have come up with so far but to no avail.

"#!/usr/bin/perl

use Net::Ping;

$p = Net::Ping->new("icmp");
$host = "192.168.xx.xx";
@range = (1 .. 255);
foreach $host (@range)
{
print "$host is dead.\n"
unless $p->ping($host);
}
$p->close();
"

A little bit modified (single class C), but try working from this:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use Net::Ping;
   $my_addr='192.168.26.100';
   $p = Net::Ping->new("icmp");
   $p->bind($my_addr); # Specify source interface of pings
   @host_array=(1 .. 255);
   foreach $host (@host_array)
   {
   $ip="192.168.26.$host";
   print "$ip is ";
   print "NOT " unless $p->ping($ip, 2);
   print "reachable.\n";
   sleep(1);
   }
   $p->close();

The bind interface helped, as well as a need to clearly define the host you were after.

Hope that helps.

(Edit-
You can get a better feel for the Net::Ping from the docs:
http://perldoc.perl.org/Net/Ping.html )

Ahh I see now. Initially when I was playing with the bind syntax I was using double quotes instead os single quotes which explains why it wouldn't run. I will modify my other script that I had using bind and try it again. Thanks!!

Any time! If you end up working it into something really cool, be sure to share, so others can learn from it, too!
