=head2 Usage:

=exec ../multiping/multiping 2>&1

=head2 Description:

Multiping runs pings in parallel which permits you to ping lots of hosts 
quickly.  I wrote a program using Net::Ping to try to how bad a simple-minded
approach was.  With .025s between pings in my programs and 1s in multiping,
my program took 17 minutes and multiping took 37 seconds.  Maybe someone
will not be able to get multiping going and will re-write it in perl.  Not
me.  I'd be happy to include it if some-one wants to send me a copy.
