in reply to $SIG{ALRM} and windows vista?
You're being bitten by Safe Signals. And the problem is not sourced in, nor confined to Windows.
UPDATE: ikegami's right!
I would have sworn that at one point after alarm was implemented on Windows and before Safe Signals were introduced, that this particular scenario worked. But I must be mixing up my memories, because it now doesn't regardless of the setting of PERL_SIGNALS=unsafe.
Sorry for the bum steer.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
