--- Begin Message ---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: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=855264 Thanks for your work on packaging Perl in Debian. -- System Information: Debian Release: 6.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-486 Locale: LANG=en_CA.UTF8, LC_CTYPE=en_CA.UTF8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_CA.UTF8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages libnet-stomp-perl depends on: ii libclass-accessor-perl 0.34-1 Perl module that automatically gen ii perl 5.10.1-17squeeze1 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction libnet-stomp-perl recommends no packages. libnet-stomp-perl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---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.
