Re^2: Locked threads and tcp timeouts

See how to set socket recv timeout in architecture independent manner? for how to set the recieve timeout.

I have read this thread but it didn't do any good for me. Suggested line:

setsockopt( $client, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO, pack('L!L!', +10, 0) );
[download]

didn't help, perl still blocks at reading from socket. Maybe the 64-bit env is the reason?

You could also resort to non-blocking IO. See How to set sockets non-blocking on Windows

Thanks, i'll look into it.
