This is my patch patch.1g for perl5.001.

This patch only includes updates to the lib/ directory and
the removal of the pod/modpods.  The main things are the following:

	The modpods are now embedded in their corresponding .pm files.

	The Grand AutoLoader patch.

	Updates to lib/ExtUtils/xsubpp by Paul Marquess 
	<pmarquess@bfsec.bt.co.uk>.

	Minor changes to a very few modules and pods.


To apply, change to your perl directory, run the commands above, then
apply with 
    patch -p1 -N  < thispatch.

After you apply this patch, you should go on to apply patch.1h and
patch.1i before reConfiguring and building.

Patch and enjoy,

 package Net::Ping;
 
+=head1 NAME
+
+Net::Ping, pingecho - check a host for upness
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    use Net::Ping;
+    print "'jimmy' is alive and kicking\n" if pingecho('jimmy', 10) ;
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module contains routines to test for the reachability of remote hosts.
+Currently the only routine implemented is pingecho(). 
+
+pingecho() uses a TCP echo (I<not> an ICMP one) to determine if the
+remote host is reachable. This is usually adequate to tell that a remote
+host is available to rsh(1), ftp(1), or telnet(1) onto.
+
+=head2 Parameters
+
+=over 5
+
+=item hostname
+
+The remote host to check, specified either as a hostname or as an IP address.
+
+=item timeout
+
+The timeout in seconds. If not specified it will default to 5 seconds.
+
+=back
+
+=head1 WARNING
+
+pingecho() uses alarm to implement the timeout, so don't set another alarm
+while you are using it.
