Home: Perl Programming Help: Advanced: Timeout for socket connect ?

Omicron Deleted Dec 21, 2000, 2:02 AM Post #1 of 4 (1979 views) Timeout for socket connect ? Can't Post Hi there! I have following Problem: I want to connect a special Port on my server, sometimes the Firewall blocks this special port, if this happens, I want the client tocancel the 'connection-trying' after max. 2-3 sec. but I don't know how. The Timeout(seconds) does not work, because I don't open a port, I just want to connect to a port. Can Somebody help me, somehow ?

As perplexer points out, alarm() is a good start, but if you're using IO::Socket, then you can (ab)use it's timeout() method applied to the socket object or through an IO::Socket::INET object constructor. perldoc IO::Socket for more details.

But.. nothing works.. alarm isn't supported by aktiv perl, and the timeout function in IO::socket ( Yes I am using IO::Socket to connect to an opened Port) only works, if I open a port, not if I want to connect to an opened Port... I need Help !! I have absolutly no idea what i can try else...
