Layer 2 'Ping'

Hello,

I'd like to write a small connectivity utility which will _craft_ then _pack_ and _send_ an ethernet frame.

First: Im using MSWin32

Second: Is there already a utility for sending a Layer 2 'ping' without a TCP/IP stack loaded?

Third: Can the DL-DATA-ACK function be utilized for this?

Fourth: I'd like to use Perl for this, but ive had some trouble finding an appropriate 'module' to accomplish this.
