POE::Component::Client::Ping is an asynchronous, event driven client for ICMP ping. It accepts events containing the specifics of ICMP ping requests, and it returns events carrying the results of those pings. . Ping client components are not proper objects. Instead of being created, as most objects are, they are "spawned" as separate sessions. To avoid confusion (and hopefully not cause other confusion), they must be spawned with a spawn method, not created anew with a new one.
