Hi, I have set an alarm to interrupt execution MySQL Delete operation after few seconds. But though timeout happens, it is not interrupting the DB operation. That query hangs on. Please check my below code and correct me if any thing wrong in it. Kindly help!! 

eval { 
 local $SIG{ALRM} = sub { die "alarm\n" };
 alarm $timeout_in_seconds;
 $mtd_prod_sqlQuery_delete->execute($mtd_replica_row[0]);
 alarm 0;
};
if ($@) 
{
    print "Delete from MTD Prod Timeout\n";
}
