I use this code to make 'REAL' timeout connection on Windows, it works fine with IO::Socket::INET, but got "400 Bad Request" response with IO::Socket::SSL. 
#! perl -w

use strict;
use IO::Socket;
use IO::Socket::SSL;
use IO::Select;

my $timeout = 3;

my $socket = IO::Socket::SSL->new( Proto    => "tcp",
                   Type     => SOCK_STREAM);

ioctl($socket, 0x8004667e, pack("I", 1)); # Good HTTPS server response
+ with comment this, but timeout not work.

my $inetaddr = inet_aton("some_ssl_host");
my $peeraddr = sockaddr_in(443, $inetaddr);

$socket->connect($peeraddr);
$socket->autoflush;

my $select = new IO::Select($socket);

if($select->can_write($timeout))
{
    my $req = "GET /index.php HTTP/1.0\n\n";
    print $socket $req;

    print <$socket>; # Got "400 Bad Request" from HTTPS server.
}
else
{
    print "Connect timeout.\n";
}

close $socket;
exit;
