Hi all, I have a script that goes out and "grabs" a specific HTML page. I then search through the page, gathering the info I want. Sometimes, the site I'm hitting is either bogged down or unresponsive. I'd like to include a timing mechanism that basically says after 10 secs, quit trying to get the page and move on. Some sample code:
my $url = "http://$host:$port/page"; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(); $ua->agent("Godzilla/v911 Mithril"); my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET =>$url); $req->referer("http://nowhere.com"); Loop until you reach 10 seconds { my $response = $ua->request($req); my $content = $response->content(); } -- Ken Hammer Strategic Projects And Planning University Of Michigan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
