Bug #4601 for POE-Component-Client-Ping: test script fails on Win2K PC

Version numbers etc. follow problem description. I had problems with a couple of scripts I have written. On further investigation, similar symptoms are seen in the test script provided with the PoCo-Client-Ping version 0.99 downloaded from CPAN. I have copied below the output from running 01_ping.t, with DEBUG defined as 1 in the test script and in ping.pm. Output from 01_ping.t E:\Temp\POE-Component-Client-Ping-0.99\t>perl 01_ping.t 1..4 3: starting pinger client session... 3: pinging 204.152.190.72... 3: pinging 64.209.200.100... 3: pinging 206.86.0.23... 3: pinging 128.138.129.31... 3: pinging 206.132.27.156... 3: pinging 192.116.253.10... 3: pinging 207.69.200.132... 3: pinging 207.138.35.60... 3: pinging 166.84.185.32... 4: starting pinger client session... 4: pinging 204.152.190.72... 4: pinging 64.209.200.100... 4: pinging 206.86.0.23... 4: pinging 128.138.129.31... 4: pinging 206.132.27.156... 4: pinging 192.116.253.10... 4: pinging 207.69.200.132... 4: pinging 207.138.35.60... 4: pinging 166.84.185.32... ok 1 3: time's up for 204.152.190.72... 3: time's up for 64.209.200.100... 3: time's up for 206.86.0.23... 3: time's up for 128.138.129.31... 3: time's up for 206.132.27.156... 3: time's up for 192.116.253.10... 3: time's up for 207.69.200.132... 3: time's up for 207.138.35.60... 3: time's up for 166.84.185.32... 3: pinger client session stopped... not ok 2 4: time's up for 204.152.190.72... 4: time's up for 64.209.200.100... 4: time's up for 206.86.0.23... 4: time's up for 128.138.129.31... 4: time's up for 206.132.27.156... 4: time's up for 192.116.253.10... 4: time's up for 207.69.200.132... 4: time's up for 207.138.35.60... 4: time's up for 166.84.185.32... 4: pinger client session stopped... not ok 3 this shouldn't technically be displayed at D:/Perl/site/lib/POE/Component/Client /Ping.pm line 410. this shouldn't technically be displayed at D:/Perl/site/lib/POE/Component/Client /Ping.pm line 410. ok 4 E:\Temp\POE-Component-Client-Ping-0.99\t> Version numbers I'm running perl on a Windows 2K PC with the latet patches from Microsoft.
