Subject: libnet-stomp-perl: misleading documentation on the timeout parameter
Package: libnet-stomp-perl
Version: 0.38-1
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Per the documentation, this should time out:
my $frame = $stomp->receive_frame( { timeout => $receive_timeout } );
However, it does not time out, blocking until there is a message to read.
Strace has the script attempting to read the empty queue and nothing else.
The bug is either that the code doesn't time out the receive_frame, or that the
documentation doesn't state that the timeout doesn't happen the way we think it
might (timeout ends, read attempt ends too).
