Subject: Re: net ping is in error in Windows 7 OS

I used msdos ping command and captured the stdout and it works just
fine.

   $msdos="ping "+@target      #construct the msdos command
   result=eval("`"+$msdos+"`") #notice the eval statement

This is before I became aware of net/ping

Hope that helps

Joe
