i have a client/server program.Now i want to set timer for the same.That means if client send a request to the server and with 10 sec if the particular response is not arrive to the client then it will show the timeout.After that it will resend the request to the server and increase the value of timer.

The platform is windows
use IO::Socket::INET;
use Switch;
use strict;



open CONFIGFILE, "config.txt" or die $!;
{
    local $/;
    $/ = undef;
    $DATA=<CONFIGFILE>;
}

my $Config = ACTI::Tiny->new();
$Config = ACTI::Tiny->read_string( $DATA );
$s = $Config->{_};

my $MySocket=new IO::Socket::INET->new(
                         LocalAddr=>$s->{Local_IP},
                         LocalPort=>$s->{Local_Port},
                        PeerPort=>$s->{Remote_Port},
                        Proto=>$s->{Transport},
                        PeerAddr=>$dest_ip 
                                            );
        $MySocket or die "no socket :$!";

print "\nPlease wait...\n";

sub sendMessage
          {
                    
                    my  $msg=$request;
                    $MySocket->send($msg);#Send
                    write_file($output_file,$log_meg,"Sending message:
+\n", $msg);
           }
sub recvMessage
            {
               
            $MySocket->recv ($text,1000);#Recv
            write_file($output_file,{append=>1},"Received Message:\n",
+ $text);

            }
