    You can set a timeout on the user agent object that you pass to WWW::Spider.
    Perl 6 - links to (nearly) everything that is Perl 6.

      Do you (or anyone) have an example on how this is done?
      I tried numerous attemps, but Im not too familiar with how to do that. None of my attempts worked, like appending timeout => '1' to it.

        The LWP::UserAgent documentation is quite clear on how to add a timeout on the UserAgent object, and has an example.
