Hi Otto.
Sounds like you are rolling your own monitor applicaiton?
Without having tested this, I'd say:
my $result = system("ping -s localhost 56 1");
Or, do you wish to receive multiple results for that one command?
I'm wondering, is this really the optimail solution to your problem.
What is the end product you are writing? May well be that there is
somehting there already.
If it is a monitoring application, I'd highly recommend
http://www.nagios.org/
Then you don't have to roll your own.. ;)
Enjoy!
