perl script help needed.

[prabhu.anandh at wipro.com]

Hi folks,
I have written a perl script to execute ping command and store the
result in a file called out.i am not able to do it.since it doesn't give
the output in the out file.please guide me to write into that file.

This is my perl script.

#!/usr/bin/perl
$input=<STDIN>;
exec "/usr/bin/ping $input> out";

And also give me an idea how to give input along the script 
Like XXXX.pl 10.20.X.X then <enter>
Instead of XXXX.pl  <enter> then giving
10.20.X.X   <enter>

I am new to these perl scripts.i need your help greatly.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Prabhu Anandh
