Hi all, I'm obviously new to socket programming, so please bear with me. Generically, I've got a situation where I would like to write a PERL script to check 'network connectivity' between two machines. A bit more specifically, I need to check the network 'health' or availability of a connection from a web server (Windows 2003R2) to a mainframe (IBM Z/os) and all the nodes or hops along the way and have that check report back the statistics in a log file. Basically a diagnostic script to try and determine where a problem lies in the connection (i.e. a switch, a router, a firewall etc), when there is a connectivity problem between the two. Something that would take into account multiple (known) port number possibilities as well. What PERL modules would be recommended to accomplish this type of script? Are there any good tutorials or scripts that I could use/modify that someone could point me to (hyperlink)? I would like to try and learn this stuff, as apposed to copy and paste, but I'm not really too sure where to start. I would really appreciate the guidance here. Thanks, Gary
