Hi i have a snmp enumerator which is supposed to gather snmp info but the problem is that the ordinary time out is 40 sec and the T max is 60 seconds. I was wondering is there a way to increase this time out in the IO::socket module? here is a snippet of the code: 
 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use Getopt::Std;
use IO::Socket;
use Net::SNMP;
---------------------
my $remote    = $opt_t;
my $community = $opt_c || "public";
my $port      = $opt_p || 161;
my $snmpver   = $opt_v || 1;
my $retries   = $opt_r || 2;
my $timeout   = $opt_T || 40;

my $timeout   = $opt_T || 40;
