PING server problem [PERL] - I'm getting a T-BF / ¬='e' error.

135 100+

PERL Code to Ping a server:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
#!c:/Perl/bin/perl.exe
 
use Net::Ping;

use strict;

use warnings;
 
my $host = 192.168.0.1; # Real value removed by MODERATOR

my $p = Net::Ping->new("tcp", 300);

my $result = $p->ping($host) ? "On.\n" : "Off.\n";
 
$p->close();
 
print <<EOF;
 
<html>

<body>

<h2> The $host is $result</h2>

</body>

</html>
 
EOF
 
__END__

***** Guy's I'm either getting the T-BF or ¬='e' error where the $host is ******
***** OUTPUT: The T-BF is Off or The ¬='e' is Off ******

What I'm I doing wrong?

Patal,

Your problem is in your assignment to $host. You need to include that value in quotes to treat it like a string. That type of assignment is allowed only for legacy reasons. It's essentially treated like a version number of perl. To read about it look here:

perldoc perldata - Search for "Version Strings"

Note: I've simplified your code a little above and replaced the IP with a private IP.
