unable to successfully get a task by name GetTaskByName

I need to be able to set the timeout on the flow that exits from a dummy task.

from other posts in this forum, it seems like i need to do the following:
1. get the current task
2. get the workflow (job)
3. get the dummy task by id
4. set the timout on the task.

i am able to get the current task:
my $task = TeamSite::WFtask->new($taskId);

i am able to get the job
$jobId = $task->GetWorkflowId;
$job = TeamSite::WFworkflow->new($jobId);

but then i can't get the task that i want by name:
$dummyTask = $job->GetTaskByName('Dummy Task');

there are no errors, the page (cgi task) just hangs.
help?

thanks.

Please read perldoc TeamSite::WFworkflow carefully - you are not using the method correctly, the answer is in the documentation.
