I currently have a perl script...

In this script I ping some hosts read from a host database table in mysql. I right now if I ping each host 10 times and each ping takes a second, then I can only do 6 hosts a minute. I need this script to run every minute. And I have hundreds of hosts (theoritcally). So I need to build in some 'threading' capability.

I need it to ping these hosts concurrently and I'm pretty new to perl. Will calling fork() work for this? Also, would anyone be willing to take a look at some code to see where I would need to fork (or whatever) for this to work?

Can anybody help this guy?

I'm saddened to tell you that he cannot be helped.

Isn't that the "Tim Towdi" language? If so you should have a lot of possibilities to implement that. The downside is that you have dozens of ways of implementing it.

Perl is the language of the Nazi's...

I'm good at perl necklaces, if that's any use

I took 1 class in college where we learned some Perl...not to say I remembered any of it

I want to learn Perl. Unfortunately I don't.

But I am crazy good at NetLogo!

Yes, me!...unlike most of her so-called 'boyfriends'
