Re: How do I keep a search from hanging?

[Graham B. <gb...@po...>]

The timeout argument to search is a parameter given to the server
as a timeout for the query. It is not a timeout that Net::LDAP uses to
determine how long to wait.

Net::LDAP does not have this, maybe it should. This is something to
think about.
