Re: Do Perl Programs Timeout on Their Own

Did you run this from a terminal, in the foreground? Perl programs themselves don't time out, but if they are run from a terminal and the terminal times out, the OS will kill the foreground process.

Your program needs to maintain some kind of a log. In addition, you should examine the Windows event-log viewer to see if any application-related messages are in there. When a program crashes, it’s usually recorded.
