Re: How to use timeout in perl

in reply to How to use timeout in perl

See this recent thread: Self terminating a script after a specified time for a problem similar to yours. Especially this reply containing useful notes about alarm.

Also, as in the thread above, I would suggest you to look at Time::Limit.

I already tried that one. But Time::Limit (limit.pm) module is not present in our perl version. We should not use external modules. Is there any other way to use timeout or alarm to exit from the script. Any help can be appreciated.	[reply]

Hi vasuperl, read the source code for that module, its very short Also this message is obligatory :) Yes, even you can use CPAN, A Guide to Installing Modules, Top 11 (GOOD) reasons not to use someone else's Modules, Top Seven (Bad) Reasons Not To Use Modules	[reply]
