in thread Ping sweep with reporting

Ok, here's what I have: <code> #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $ping = "/bin/ping"; while (<DATA>) { chomp; my $ping_out = `$ping $_ 2> /dev/null`; chomp ($ping_out); if ($ping_out !~ /bytes from/) { print "$_ isn't pinging\n"; } else { print "$_ is up\n"; } } __DATA__ myserver02 <code/> And here's the output: root@stewie ~# perl pingsweep_pm.pl isn't pinging Thoughts?
