This package implements a PerlIO layer, that adds read / write timeout. This can be useful to avoid blocking while accessing a handle (file, socket, ...), and fail after some time. The timeout is implemented by using <select> on the handle before reading/writing. WARNING the handle won't timeout if you use sysread or syswrite on it, because these functions works at a lower level. However if you're trying to implement a timeout for a socket, see IO::Socket::Timeout that implements exactly that. WWW: http://search.cpan.org/dist/PerlIO-via-Timeout
