You should really say the following here:

use strict;
use warnings;

There is no reason to use the concatenation operator here, just use
interpolation:

print "Latency to `one' is $ret->{'www.example.org'}\n";

You are calling get_dropped twice, but referring to the result as
$my_ttl once.  I am betting you meant to call get_recv_ttl instead.
Also, the documentation claims that the return value for get_dropped
and get_recv_ttl is a hashref (which is consistent with what you got
in your print statements).  Hashrefs are data structures and cannot be
printed out just by printing them.  The simplest way to print it would
be to say

my $ttl = $obj->get_recv_ttl;
print "time to live:\n";
for my $key (%$ttl) {
    print "\t$key => $ttl->{$key}\n";
}

my $drop = $obj->get_dropped;
print "drops:\n";
for my $key (%$drop) {
    print "\t$key => $drop->{$key}\n";
}

Warning, the code above is untested.  I do not have the requisite the
library to install the Perl Module.

There is no reason to use the concatenation operator here.  Just use
interpolation:

print "my_error: $my_err_msg\n";
