Yes, that is correct. The ping utility uses ICMP echo request/ICMP echo reply while, by default, Net::Ping tries to establish a TCP session with the echo port of the target host.
Try making this change to your program:
$p = Net::Ping->new('icmp');
Update
w01b0rji.cube.fred.ch `ping` OK : w01b0rji.cube.fred.ch is alive
w01b0rji.cube.fred.ch $p->ping NOK
svmoloch.flur.fred.ch `ping` OK : svmoloch.flur.fred.ch is alive
svmoloch.flur.fred.ch $p->ping NOK
160.69.125.142 `ping` OK : 160.69.125.142 is alive
160.69.125.142 $p->ping NOK
Just to clarify, what you are seeing here is most likely the result of the specified hosts allowing ICMP echo requests, but not having a service listening to the echo port.

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).
