Description : module to check if there is Internet access
LWP::Online will try to verify, as accurately as it can, if the
host has any Internet access: it will check if there is basic
network access, DNS connectivity and it will also check whether
one from a whole set of transport (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, and so on) is
actually available
.
The exported 'online' function can also be used by other modules to
skip the tests which require Internet connectivity.
