Re: How to deal with event timeout?
You can set a timeout for anything by using POE::Kernel's delay(). sub _start { ... in addition to the PoCo::Client::NNTP SYNOPSIS code: $kernel-delay(connect_timeout = 60); # set it } sub _connected { ... in addition to the PoCo::Client::NNTP SYNOPSIS code: $kernel-delay(connect_timeout = undef); # clear it } You will need to register a connect_timeout handler in POE::Session- create() to catch the timeout. -- Rocco Caputo - rcap...@pobox.com On Mar 22, 2010, at 10:00, Ryan Chan wrote: 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.

Re: How to deal with event timeout?
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? http://search.cpan.org/~rcaputo/POE-1.287/lib/POE/Kernel.pm#delay_set_EVENT_NAME,_DURATION_SECONDS_[,_PARAMETER_LIST] -- Jeremy Leader jlea...@oversee.net jlea...@alumni.caltech.edu Ryan Chan wrote: 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.
