A very good idea!

I asked Paul (cc) about this and he replied "In what sense do you
believe the "Timeout" option doesn't work? It works exactly the same
in IO::Socket::IP as it does in IO::Socket::INET or indeed IO::Socket
itself."  and I think this is a fair question! There is also no bug in
the RT for IO::Socket::IP about any issue. What is the exact problem
you see?
