I tried errorchecking but no error, doesn't even seem to matter what i write after pack().I have something like: 

$port=80;
$proto=getprotobyname('tcp');
socket(SOCKET,AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,$proto) or die "no socket";
setsockopt(SOCKET,SOL_SOCKET,SO_RCVTIMEO,pack("LL",1,0));
$iadr = inet_aton("127.0.0.1");
$padr=sockaddr_in($port,$iadr);
if(connect(SOCKET,$padr)){
print "connection ok";}
else{print "$!\n";}

It should correspond to something like:

$conn = IO::Socket::INET->new(
    PeerAddr=>"127.0.0.1",
    PeerPort=>80,
    Proto=>'tcp',
    Timeout=> 1, 
        Blocking=>1    );

So: a blocking socket with a 1 second timeout because now the standardtimeout is something like 10 seconds,making my applications run slower iso faster which was the general idea.
