default timeout for IO::Socket::INET

[Chas. Owens]

I checked perldoc documents but didn't find a default timeout value for
IO::Socket::INET object.
Who knows that? thanks.

Based on my reading of the code it looks like it doesn't timeout by default.

oh will be trying to connect to the remote host forever until it gets
successed?
that sounds not reasonable.thanks.

Just a guess, but it may return after the socket driver times out. That
would be right after the DNS lookup fails, or after the connection is
refused by the host, or about 3 1/2 minutes when the driver stops trying
to open a non-responding port. That may still absurdly long in this day
and age, but those specs were written in a different age.
