Re: How to deal with event timeout?

You can set a timeout for anything by using POE::Kernel's delay().

sub _start {
   ... in addition to the PoCo::Client::NNTP SYNOPSIS code:
   $kernel->delay(connect_timeout => 60); # set it
}

sub _connected {
   ... in addition to the PoCo::Client::NNTP SYNOPSIS code:
   $kernel->delay(connect_timeout => undef); # clear it
}

You will need to register a connect_timeout handler in POE::Session- 
 >create() to catch the timeout.
