A very good idea! > But there's a downside too: > With IO::Socket::IP, the option Timeout to Net::LDAP->new() will be ignored. I asked Paul (cc) about this and he replied "In what sense do you believe the "Timeout" option doesn't work? It works exactly the same in IO::Socket::IP as it does in IO::Socket::INET or indeed IO::Socket itself." and I think this is a fair question! There is also no bug in the RT for IO::Socket::IP about any issue. What is the exact problem you see? -- Mike
