Worse yet, after a period of several minutes the pings started coming more frequently that once per minute.
If ip-address.txt contains more than one host/address, there's no pause between them because there's no sleep() in the foreach $host (@ip) loop. There's only a pause after the whole list has been processed.
My Win2K laptop quit responding to commands, and I had to yank the battery to reboot. Attached are the code and the log file that shows the misbehavior.
You can usually force computers to shut down by holding the power button for 4-6 seconds. It's probably a friendlier option than removing the battery.
That's all I have time for right now. I hope it helps.

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).
