IO::Socket timeout method on Win32

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"

Tested on Activestate 5.6.0 multi-threaded

Exists is not the same as working. I phrased my original statement as a question because while I knew the method would be there, I didn't know if it would work. Check out Re (tilly) 1: Timeout problem using IO::Socket for more on this.	[reply]
