Add timeout to client when server never creates FIFO. 
If the server never creates the named pipe, then this loop originally
hung forever.  The count it now waits for is arbitrary, and probably
could be smaller, since the current implementation of the server
creates the pipe within 3-6 seconds under normal conditions.

Beancount Tools Written in Perl

These are various tools written in Perl to interact with Beancount project.

bean-query-goofy-daemon.plx

This daemon uses Perl's IPC::Shareable library to take queries as a daemon for Beancount's bean-query. Note that this daemon is not particularly secure, as it has the same security flaws inherent in IPC::Shareable and use of named pipes (as it uses mkfifo from Perl's POSIX library underneath.

bean-query-daemon-lib.pl

This file defines three functions to use in client scripts that want to talk to bean-query-goofy-daemon.plx.

It's not an actual Perl library; just use require in Perl to load it.
