On Windows Vista, your code doesn't do anything useful. It does! It demonstrates that alarm works, when the operation, (sleep in this case), doesn't involve IO. Ie. The sleep 10; was interupted by the alarm 5. And that was the only reason I posted it. For a solution to your problem that works, see Term::ReadKey Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
