& XSLT I would like to develop an application that makes use of the RPC::XML module. Is ther
e any way of setting a timeout parameter for the request I am making to a server, in order t
o detect a situation where the server URL is not correct or the server is down for example? 
Please take a look at the following part of the developed code...
 
my $client = RPC::XML::Client-> new($SERVER_URL);
my $request = RPC::XML::request-> new("BalanceInquiry",RPC::XML::struct->new('MSISDN'=> RPC::
XML::string-> new($MSISDN),));    
my $result = $client-> simple_request($request);
    
    if (ref($result))
    {
        
        my $code=$result-> {'RETURNCODE'};
        print $code."\n";
    }
    else
    {
        print $result."\n";
    }
 
the above code block is enclosed within an eval but if for example I set an incorrect URL on
 purpose, nothing seems to happen...
