[Ramkumar85]

Hi All,

I used LWP::USerAgent module to get the data from the URL. If the URL get slow or some other reason to take the data more than 60 seconds need to exit from the method.

Is there any way to quit the method while get method processing more than 60 seconds.

Regards,
Ram.

I used the below code to get the data's from URL.

use warnings;
    use strict;
    use LWP::UserAgent;
    use HTTP::Request;
    use HTTP::Cookies;
        my $inurl = "http://www.tcsonline.co.uk/Vessel_Schedule.asp";
 
    my $ua=LWP::UserAgent->new;
    $ua->agent("User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:8.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0.1");
 
    my $cookie= HTTP::Cookies->new(file=>"$0.txt",autosave => 1,);
    $ua->cookie_jar($cookie);
    $ua->timeout(0);
    my $req=HTTP::Request->new(GET=>"$inurl");
    $req->header("User-Agent" => "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.1.2) Gecko/20090729 Firefox/3.5.2 ( .NET4.0E)");
    $req->header("Content-Type" => "text/html");
 
    my $res=$ua->request($req);
    $cookie->extract_cookies($res);
    $cookie->save;
    $cookie->add_cookie_header($req);
    my $code=$res->code;
    my $page_content;
    if($code=~m/20/is)
    {        
    $page_content=$res->content();
 
    }
    open OUToutfile, ">Vessel.txt";
    print OUToutfile $page_content;
    close OUToutfile;

Please be sure and always read the documentation for the modules you are using. If you check that link, you will see there is a timeout for the constructor method.
