How do I keep a search from hanging?

[Bryan T. <th...@rs...>]

Hi,

How do I prevent a non-responsive server from hanging my client?  I've
tried specifying  timelimit => 10 when I invoke the search method but
the call just hangs.

I am using Net::LDAP from CPAN (G/GB/GBARR/perl-ldap-0.19.tar.gz)  under
RH linux v6.1, Perl 5.005_03

Here's the debug output produced.
