winerror.h
The closest I can find is ERROR_TIMEOUT which has a value of 1460. Unfortunately the Windows implementation of Perl does not allow return codes > 255 from a process (because of Perl's UNIX history).

    Perl does not allow return codes > 255 from a process

    Perl screws up dealing with return codes internally, but it does allow perl processes to return values greater than 255: 

    C:\test>perl -e"exit(511)" & echo %errorlevel%
511
