------- Additional Comments From ville.skytta@iki.fi 2005-06-01 13:53 EST ------- Yep, it's an issue on FC3 (perl-5.8.5-12.FC3) and FC4 (perl-5.8.6-15). I could reproduce the failure on a Solaris and a Debian box too, so it looks like an upstream issue. See also http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=Net-Ping
On a side note, the issue (all tcp pings succeed even for non-open ports) seems to occur here only when pinging a local IP address, others appear to work as expected. But that could be a coincidence.
