Re: IO::Socket::INET timeout?

Hi Paul,

Did you get any resolution on this? I've only found these links:

https://docs.raku.org/type/IO/Socket/INET

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72639883/how-to-deal-with-exceptions-in-iosocketinet

I imagine a solution is possible using a Supply, but I haven't gotten there yet:

https://docs.raku.org/type/Supply

Best, Bill.
