if you are trying to make alarm clock then you need a call back function for extra module. try to make a script that rotate the functions and check for its timeout. Again if you are trying to do something after reporting timeout.
my $time_out = 5;
my $flag = 1;
while(1){
my $diff = time() - $starttime;
if($diff >= $time_out){
print "already reached maximum timeout\n";
last;
}
if($flag){
printData();
$flag = 0;
}
sleep(1);
}
sub printData {
print "i am running....\n";
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
