Re^3: one liner in script

This code works for me:

$line=`
  cmd 1
  cmd 2
  cmd 3
  alarm () {
    /usr/bin/perl -e '
      alarm shift;
      exec \@ARGV;' -- "\$@"
  }
  alarm 4 cmd 4
  cmd n `;

print "$line";

The differences are:

path to perl (might be different on your system)
escaping the @ sign
escaping the $ sign
Update: the -- separator
