in thread IO::Socket hanging during requests

If there is no server at the other end, wont you get a connection refused message?

In my client socket code, I always eval the calls to the socket so I can timeout if there is any problems..

    I'm not a 100% certain here, but I thought you only got a connection refused if there was a server at the other end to refuse it.
