Net::SCP::Expect and timeout	Can't Post

I am having a problem where the timeout on Expect appears to work as a delay rather than a timeout.

Is there a way to make the timeout expire if the pattern is matched?

Code

my $scpe = Net::SCP::Expect->new( 
        host=>$host, 
        user=>$user, 
        password=>$password, 
        timeout=>15, 
        preserve=> 1, 
        auto_yes => 1 
        );

For some reason the speed of my connection is controled by the timeout. Timeout of 1 is quicker, but of course, then you run the problem that it might indeed timeout too soon. I want to use a long timeout but quit as soon as the pattern match is made.

I looked threw the module doc. On cpan and the timeout options should timeout after the set value amd between each call.. Also Tue timeout option ur setting also is default set to 10 and from what u want ur going to have to make ur script autaticly timeout once it returns successful
