Guys,
How would you set a timeout on a TCP connection?
I have been playing with the idea of using IO::Socket to execute
commands on remote machines.
On the listening side of the connection, I respond back to the client
with an "OKAY" for the client to send its remote command to the
server... But this brought up the question, what if I never get a
response back through the TCP connection?
I saw this in the client constructor but Im not able to get it to
work....
my $socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr => $remote_host,
PeerPort => $remote_port,
Proto => "tcp",
Type => SOCK_STREAM,
TimeOut => 10)
If the timeout limit is reached, with the client terminate?
Is the value of TimeOut in the constructor stating "TimeOut is 10
seconds?"
