As long as you are on a unix system that handles signals you can use this:

$seconds_allowed_to_do_task = 5;
foreach (@list_of_things_to_do) {    
    eval {
        local $SIG{ALRM} = sub { die "dead"};
        alarm $seconds_allowed_to_do_task;
        &doTask($_);
        alarm 0;
    };
}

The eval loop get's killed by the "die" after the alarm goes off (if it does). So just put your IP address in the list, and make doTask be the function that does your http connection. -Henri

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
