asterisk users - May 2011 - AMI check if connection is alive

I'm using a perl daemon i wrote to connect to AMI and perform actions. The
daemon connects to asterisk via AMI at start up. Is there anyway to check if
the AMI connection is still alive, for example every 2 seconds. if the
connection is not alive, re-connect to AMI? Also, does AMI timeout after a
certain amount of time of not sending commands?

Send an "Action: Ping\r\n\r\n" command.  You should receive a
response.
  Run a timer on it and if you don't get a response reconnect.
