Subject: libnet-stomp-perl: misleading documentation on the timeout parameter
Package: libnet-stomp-perl
Version: 0.38-1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Per the documentation, this should time out:

my $frame = $stomp->receive_frame( { timeout => $receive_timeout } );

However, it does not time out, blocking until there is a message to read. 
Strace has the script attempting to read the empty queue and nothing else.

The bug is either that the code doesn't time out the receive_frame, or that the 
documentation doesn't state that the timeout doesn't happen the way we think it 
might (timeout ends, read attempt ends too).

Other people have run into this:

Thanks for your work on packaging Perl in Debian.

Hi! I'm closing this bug, since it was tagged "moreinfo" for years
without answer. Also, Florian Schlichting said back in 2011 that the
code was rewritten and the bug was "probably fixed". If you still
encounter this problem, please feel free to re-open it.
