libwww-perl is does not honor time-out with Net-HTTP 6.04. $ nc -lp 2000& $ lwp-request -m GET -t 4 http://localhost:2000/ This should time out in 4 seconds, but it does. This is fixed in upstream development tree with commit 6794fa73e92d63e973b38f97299b4181bdd7ee8b Author: Gisle Aas <gisle> Date: Thu Nov 8 21:07:33 2012 +0100 With Net::HTTP 6.04 we don't need our own can_read() and sysread override by removing overloaded wrong implementation which is now provided by Net-HTTP 6.04 correctly. See <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=81799>.
