in reply to Timeout for an established connection

There is a timeout method in IO::Socket:

timeout(VAL)

Set or get the timeout value (in seconds) associated with this socket. If called without any arguments then the current setting is returned. If called with an argument the current setting is changed and the previous value returned.

Hope this helps.

    timeout method from IO::Socket is not very useful. This timeout value is only used by the connect method.
