in thread use IO::Socket / Windows Timeout

My problem is not with Web sites, but with laboratory instruments that "report" either via built-in HTTP server or via direct TCP connection. Both tend to occasionally "freeze", after the connection has been successfully established. Strangely enough, timeout at socket creation seems to work.

I would appreciate if you would share the "good solution" you mentioned. It has been almost 15 years, but I suspect it will still be good :-D

Thanks!

    The user in question sadly has not been active here for years. A better approach would be to start a thread for your actual problem, rather than something which doesn't fit in with the existing thread. How do I post a question effectively?.
