Hi StarkRavingCalm,
As Fletch says, it looks like you're simply missing the '}' where marked below:
#!/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";
}
# <--- You're missing a '}' right here to end the while { } loop
__DATA__

Was there some reason that "Missing right curly or square bracket" didn't lead you to that conclusion?
And do you understand how to put <code> and </code> tags around your post so that it's readable? If not, pay close attention when you hit "preview". If it doesn't look right, don't click the "create" button until it does! (You can continue clicking on "preview" until the post displays correctly).
s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
