As I read the doc, there is one 'overall' default timeout value (that is set to 10 seconds) which you can get/set via the timeout() method like `$secs = $telnet->timeout; $prev = $telnet->timeout($secs);` [download] Also, you might finetune your way of operation by changing the timeout for a specific command, like `$ok = $obj->cmd( String => "xxx", Timeout => $secs, );` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I seem to be experiencing mental issues caused by lack of sleep / lack of caffeine / too much work :)	[reply]

According to the CPAN documentation, the default timeout is 10. Check this out. Thanks! s;;5776?12321=10609$d=9409:12100$xx;;s;(\d*);push @_,$1;eg;map{print chr(sqrt($_))."\n"} @_;	[reply]
