$SIG{ALRM}=\&AlarmHandler;
Well, that looks right as far as it goes. But if your program
is printing "Alarm Clock" and then dieing, then you almost
certainly are not setting up your alarm handler properly. Perhaps
you are doing this too late, undoing it too early, have it
in some conditional that you think is being run but isn't,
etc. Perhaps some other code is setting up its own alarm
handler and overwriting yours. You might want to step through
this with the Perl debugger.
