Thanks for your reply Craid. In my case I was able to use win32 events to get the master process to check the status of the slave process. Win32 events did allow and honor timeouts. This allowed my master to detect that the slave was dead and to restart it.

Since the perl code was functioning as a Windows Service, I just put together another Windows Service that polls the named pipe service every 10 seconds. Hopefully, Dave Roth will get a chance someday to fix the module. -Craig -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mobeen Azhar Sent: Saturday, July 26, 2003 21:40 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Win32::pipe I am writing a master/slave type set of programs utilizing Win32::Pipe. In contrast to what it states in the documentation, it appears that the connect() method is blocking and it does not time out even if you specify a timeout parameter when you create the named pipe in the call to the new method. Any others our there using Win32::Pipe experiencing the same issue?
