If your requirement is Windows only, using the Win32::Job module (a thin wrapper around Win32 Job objects) may make your code simpler and easier to understand. In Win32::Job spawn() method you can control stdin/stdout/stderr, while its run() method provides a simple way to run programs with a time limit. Another useful feature is that killing a job kills that process and all sub-processes spawned by it (similar to Unix process groups). Sample code can be found at Re: Timing Windows commands.
