in thread perl alarms not working as expected

Thank You @betterworld for the line: system("sleep 10 3>$tmpnam"); what does 3>$tmpnam do? If I need to replace the sleep 10 with a call to script that needs arguments, how would I do that? i.e: system("/opt/bea/domains/fsa/scripts/start.sh fsaAs02 -q 3>$tmpnam");
