Changes for version 2.33

  • add new method port_number() rather than asking users to twiddle with the internals of Net::Ping to probe a specific port. This should resolve a few bugs where the documentation was lacking.
  • apply patch from bergonz at labs.it. This patch resolves several problems logged regarding using Net::Ping in a multi- threaded program. Thanks so much! <http://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=17408>
