NAME
    Test::Ping - Testing pings using Net::Ping

VERSION
    Version 0.06

SYNOPSIS
    This module helps test pings using Net::Ping

        use Test::More tests => 1;
        use Test::Ping;

        my $good_host = '127.0.0.1';
        my $bad_host  = '1.1.1.1;

        ping_ok(     $good_host, "able to ping $good_host" );
        ping_not_ok( $bad_host,  "can't ping $bad_host"    );
        ...

SUBROUTINES/METHODS
  ping_ok( $host, $test )
    Checks if a host replies to ping correctly.

  ping_not_ok( $host, $test )
    Does the exact opposite of ping_ok().

EXPORT
    ping_ok

    ping_not_ok

SUPPORTED VARIABLES
    Only variables which have tests would be noted as supported. Tests is
    actually what I'm working on right now.

  PROTO
    Warning: setting this will reset the object and everything it's using
    back to defaults. Why? Because that's how it works, and I don't intend
    to bypass it - if at all - until a much later stage.

  TIMEOUT
    Warning: setting this will reset the object and everything it's using
    back to defaults. Why? Because that's how it works, and I don't intend
    to bypass it - if at all - until a much later stage.

INTEND-TO-SUPPORT VARIABLES
    These are variables I intend to support, so stay tuned or just send a
    patch.

  SOURCE_VERIFY
  SERVICE_CHECK
  TCP_SERVICE_CHECK
DISABLED TILL FURTHER NOTICE VARIABLES
  PORT
  BIND
INTERNAL METHODS
  _has_var_ok( $var_name, $var_value, $description )
    Gets a variable name to test, what to test against and the name of the
    test. Runs an actual test using Test::Builder.

    This is used to debug the actual module, if you wanna make sure it
    works.

        use Test::More tests => 1;
        use Test::Ping;

        # Test::Ping calls the protocol variable 'PROTO',
        # but Net::Ping calls it internally (in the hash) 'proto'
        # this is checking against Net::Ping specifically

        $Test::Ping::PROTO = 'icmp';
        _has_var_ok( 'proto', 'icmp', 'Net::Ping has correct protocol variable' )

  _ping_object
    When debugging behavior, fetching an internal object from a producedural
    module can be a bit difficult (especially when it has base inheritence
    with another one).

    This method allows you (or me) to fetch the actual Net::Ping object from
    Test::Ping. It eases testing and assurance.

    This is used by the Tie functions to set the variables for the object
    for you.
