Perl
In order to use Spong, you must have Perl installed and running on the system running any of the Spong programs. Perl 5.005_03 or greater is required. You can retrieve it from the CPAN archive (http://www.perl.com/CPAN/).
Optional Module
In order to use the spong-network DNS check, you will need to have the Net::DNS perl module. Another suggested module to install is the Time::HiRes module. spong-network can take advantage of the module, if installed, to give more accurate response time for the TCP service checks. These modules can be retrieved from the CPAN Archive (http://www.perl.com/CPAN/).
All of the Spong release files can be viewed on the Spong Project Filelist page.
The complete source is accessable via the Spong CVS repository. See the Spong Project CVS web page for complete instructions on access the repository. The Spong 2.6 branch tag is 'spong-2_6_0'. The MAIN Spong branch of the repository is Spong 2.7.
