Re: How do I keep a search from hanging?

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

Thanks for your help Graham.

Here is what I finally ended up with based on your outline, a little
wrapper routine to do the dirty work waiting for the request to complete
or time out.

#
# Wait for an async request to complete or time out
#
sub async_request
{
    my ($ldap, $completion, $timeout) = @_;

    my $selector = IO::Select->new( $ldap->socket );

    while ($selector->can_read( $timeout ))
    {
 $ldap->_recvresp();
 last if ($completion->done());
    }

    return $completion;
}

It seems to be catching all three failure modes that I've observed from
my LDAP server.

Thanks,
Bryan.
