in reply to Net::Ping -- other output formats?
Short answer: for now, no.
Long answer: Eventually Net::Ping will be extended in some way (either by parsing results of Net::Ping::External, or perhaps through a new module, Net::Ping::HiRes, to allow for exactly the functionality you want. Look for this functionality in a couple of months... I'm working on it. :)
