How to deal with event timeout?

2010-03-22 Thread Ryan Chan
For example, I am using POE::Component::Client::NNTP

http://search.cpan.org/~bingos/POE-Component-Client-NNTP-2.14/lib/POE/Component/Client/NNTP.pm

This module does not specify any timeout, so sometimes my program
seems hanged and does not response.

Is it possible to specify a timeout or lifetime for the event, so it
will quit when reached the specified time?

Can't you just use a name-based timer, re-set it every time you get any 
activity, and when it goes off (implying no activity for the duration of the 
timer), shut down?
