Thanks kennethk. I have modified my code to below 
 my $dataFile = '/opt/ExportedPGPKeys/SampleData.txt';
my $isEncrypted = `pgp -ea +batchmode $dataFile 0xc33721`;
#0xc33721 is the public key ID.
print " The output value is $isEncrypted \n";

I wanted just the output of the command so sticking to Backticks, but I wanted to address a scenario where during the execution of the PGP command for some reason if the cursor dont return to the perl code and stuck during the command execution itself say for 10 seconds, then I want to terminate(die) or force exit this perl run and log an error.
Is there a possibility to achieve this?
