Mody, I've experienced the same issues with Win32::Pipe blocking even though a time-out value was specified. 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.

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?
