What

Adds an optional -timeout parameter to whois_query() that overrides the per-source timeout for a single query without mutating global state.

Why

Users who process mixed workloads (e.g., bulk log parsing with a tight deadline vs. interactive single lookups with generous waits) currently must either modify $WHOIS_TIMEOUT globally or build a custom %mywhois hash just to change the timeout. A per-call override is simpler and avoids global side effects.

How

  • whois_query extracts -timeout from params and passes it to source_connect
  • source_connect accepts an optional third argument; when defined, it replaces the timeout in the server triple before calling whois_connect
  • The override flows naturally into both the connect phase (IO::Socket::INET Timeout) and the read phase (stashed on the socket glob for _readline_with_timeout)

Testing

  • Three new subtests in t/08-whois-query-flow.t verify the timeout threads through correctly
  • Full offline test suite passes (132 tests across 10 files)

…ride

Allow callers to override the connection and read timeout on a per-query
basis without modifying the global $WHOIS_TIMEOUT or reconfiguring %IANA.

  $iana->whois_query(-ip => $ip, -timeout => 10);

The override is threaded through source_connect to whois_connect, affecting
both the TCP connect timeout and the per-read deadline for that query only.
