I'm trying desperately to get a timeout for socket connections on Win32. Trying to do something other than have them just hang the program. sigh	[reply]

IO::Socket has a timeout attribute that you can get/set. Does that work on Win32?	[reply]
IO::Socket timeout method on Win32 by OeufMayo (Curate) on Mar 18, 2001 at 19:57 UTC
Apparently, the timeout method exists in Win32. It is set to undef by default. Here's the sample code I used: `my $sock = new IO::Socket; print $sock->timeout() \|\| "undef"; # prints "undef" $sock->timeout(10); print $sock->timeout() \|\| "undef"; # prints "10"` [download] Tested on Activestate 5.6.0 multi-threaded <kbd>-- my $OeufMayo = new PerlMonger::Paris({http => 'paris.mongueurs.net'});</kbd>	[reply] [d/l]
