This package implements a PerlIO layer, that adds read / write
|
|
timeout. This can be useful to avoid blocking while accessing a
|
|
handle (file, socket, ...), and fail after some time.
|
|
|
|
The timeout is implemented by using <select> on the handle before
|
|
reading/writing.
|
|
|
|
WARNING the handle won't timeout if you use sysread or syswrite on
|
|
it, because these functions works at a lower level. However if
|
|
you're trying to implement a timeout for a socket, see IO::Socket::Timeout
|
|
that implements exactly that.
