Plugin for tping?

[Tedman Eng]

You might want to look at the Net::Ping perl module.
http://search.cpan.org/search?query=net+ping

It has the possibility to use icmp, tcp, udp, or syn, and enough sample code
to create a simple plugin script.

I was wondering - is there a plugin that will use tping instead of ping?
I'm behind a firewall that blocks ICMP traffic, and I have hosts that need
monitoring on the other side of it.  Since tping uses TCP packets instead of
ICMP, it seems like it would be useful as a replacment.  Unfortunately, the
output from tping looks different than the output of ping.  So the
check_ping plugin doesn't know what to do with it.

Any pointers would be appreciated.
