The $ua->timeout() will abort a connection attempt that takes more than the given number of seconds, but before LWP start the connect call, it looks up the hostname which can take time that's not limited by LWP. After the connection has been established, the timeout value is used to terminate requests on sockets with no activity (data coming back) for the given amount of time. But as long as some data comes in at least every timeout sec LWP will keep on processing the requests.
Thank you Gisle. Do you know if I can detect if there is no network connection or if the requested domain was not found, using other methods before trying to make the request using LWP?
Thank you. Octavian
