When a connection timeout occurs, "the library disconnects and creates

Is there a way to change what occurs on timeout?

This sounds like an advanced LWP issue. Have you tried asking on the
LWP mailing list?

Cheers!

I was not aware there was a LWP mailing list ;)
libwww@xxxxxxxx via http://www.linpro.no/lwp/

I found a similar question posed on perlmonks, to which Randal
Schwartz suggests using POE (which I never heard of...) and Wonko
suggests using %SIG, alarm() and eval's - all of which I am unfamiliar
with, but none of which looks too complicated.

I suppose I should first try Wonko's suggestion before mailing LWP.

Thanks for your time!
