Synopsis

$nntp = Net::NNTP->new([host[, options]])

Constructor. Creates a new Net::NNTP object. Arguments are:

The name of the remote host to which an NNTP connection is required. If not specified, the constructor checks the environment variables NNTPSERVER and NEWSHOST, in that order, then Net::Config. Defaults to news if nothing is found.

options

Options. Passed as key/value pairs. Possible options are:

Timeout

Maximum time, in seconds, to wait for a response from the NNTP server. Default is 120 seconds. A value of 0 causes all I/O operations to block.
