in reply to timers in perl
If your not using Active State Perl, take a look at pelrfunc:alarm function.
If you are using AS then you'll need to fork and use sleep in the child process and then the waitpid or similar methods to acheive this. A super search for "alarm Win32" should get you several hits where this has been discussed before.
Examine what is said, not who speaks.
The 7th Rule of perl club is -- pearl clubs are easily damaged. Use a diamond club instead.
