Hi, Can someone explain how the timeout works with LWP. I'm mostly interested in http and ftp requests. Also if the timeout works the same of different platforms (and I'm most interested in VMS, unix, and Windows).
In the past I've always wrapped my requests in an eval with $SIG{ALRM}, but
that's not portable to Windows, IIRC, but it also catches DNS hangs, which
I believe $ua->timeout doesn't trap.
Thanks,
