in thread How can I execute "eval" command in WINDOWS 2000?

But alarm does work on ActivePerl 5.8.x (tested with ActivePerl 5.8.0, Build 804), by contrast to 5.6.1 and earlier.

    According to your suggestion I have upgraded perl from v5.61. to v5.8.2 build 808 to get alarm function. But now I am facing a different problem. In my perl script I used win32-setupsup module to install a GUI based software and after installion completed, machine is rebooted and this reboot is the forceful reboot as the perl script is running. In v5.6.1 this is running fine but when I am testing with v5.8.2 then in the rebooting time I am getting an error which is telling thet failed to terminate programme and the execution of script is stopped at that point. Any pointer how can I resolve this problem.
    Thanks in advance.
