When building perl some tests for Net​::Ping are disabled, so problem
is not evident. Error manifests only on Windows XP, on Windows 7
(connected to same router) tests pass. Does not depend on language,
tested English and Russian Windows. Does not depend on using/not using
VM. Problem is not resolved in latest version of Net​::Ping (2.59).

Also reported here https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=118526

Failing tests of Net​::Ping 2.55 (same version as in bleadperl)​:

I was unable to copy getnameinfo argument to clipboard, so removed it here.

Is this a regression? If so, do you know which is the most recent version
of perl or Net​::Ping which still works?

2.41 on CPAN and 2.43 in perl 5.24.0 do not have this problem. In Net​::Ping 2.49_01 (next version on CPAN) tests failed.
