    From ActivePerl documentation it seems alarm is not yet support Certain functions don't seem to work on ActivePerl. There are several functions that are unimplemented in the ActivePerl system. Here is a complete list of unimplemented functions: Functions for processes and process groups alarm(), getpgrp(), getppid(), getpriority(), setpgrp(), setpriority() can someone please confirm if it is supported
