Re^4: simple timeout

Seems that alarm is not working on ActiveState (http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/ActivePerl/faq/Windows/ActivePerl-Winfaq5.html).

I'd advise you to have a look at Time::hires.

Tried using Time::Hires; `use Time::HiRes qw (ualarm setitimer); ualarm(5000); exit;` [download] returns "ualarm is not a valid Time::HiRes macro at C:/Perl/lib/Time/HiRes.pm line 27." Not having much luck here. =(	[reply] [d/l]
