Hello.
I need a simple modification of Net::SOCKS v0.03 at CPAN.
It currently has no timeout support like IO::Socket::INET;
I need someone to rip the timeout code from IO::Socket::INET and put it in Net::SOCKS. I don't want custom timeout routines, I want the exact timeout routines used in IO::Socket::INET;
The syntax for Net::SOCKS should then look like this...
use Net::SOCKS;
my $sock = new Net::SOCKS(
socks_port => 1080,
user_id => 'the_user',
user_password => 'the_password',
force_nonanonymous => 1,
protocol_version => 5,
timeout => 30
);
That timeout value is what needs to be added and not supported in the current Net::SOCKS. This update will be submitted to the author if he wishes to include it on CPAN. :)
Thank you.
