Subject: How to catch Timeout::ERROR ?



	Is there any way to catch Timeout::ERROR exception throw by timeout  
() ?

====[cut here]======
#!/usr/bin/env ruby


require 'open-uri'
require 'timeout'


begin
         open("http://6.6.6.6/"){}
rescue => e
         puts e.message
         puts "I'm still running"
end
====[and here]====

output
