If we run perl Porting/core-cpan-diff -ax, we are told that the CPAN version of the Net-Ping library is newer than what we have in blead.

Net::Ping:
    Perl: RURBAN/Net-Ping-2.76.tar.gz
    CPAN: RURBAN/Net-Ping-2.77.tar.gz

However, the governance of this library is ... complicated. We're currently treating Net-Ping as a "blead-first" library, which means it sits underneath dist/ in our distribution. However, at https://metacpan.org/pod/Net::Ping#AUTHORS we see:

Current maintainers:
  perl11 (for cperl, with IPv6 support and more)
  p5p    (for perl5)

So synching the latest CPAN version into blead cannot be done cleanly by Porting/sync-with-cpan Net::Ping. So this is the result of a hack. In reviewing this pull request, please examine the changes to Porting/Maintainers.pl and to dist/Net-Ping/Makefile.PL.


  • This set of changes does not require a perldelta entry.
