I tried parsing the $response that doesnt work and i tried 
$timeout = 0;
    foreach (@url){
      chomp;
      $site = "$_";
      $time = time();
      $ua->timeout(2);
      $SIG{'ALRM'} = sub {$timeout =1;};
      $request = new HTTP::Request POST => $site;
      $response = $ua->request($request);
      $return_code = $response->code([$code]);
      print "return code = $return_code\n";
      print "timeout = $timeout\n";
      &check_status($site, $return_code, $time);

When i print out $timeout it remains 0 doesnt change to 1 when the request times out
