This shows it all:
== alarm ========================================================
use threads;
$SIG{ALRM} = 'a' if @ARGV; # must assign outside of threads
threads->new( sub {
$SIG{ALRM} = sub { die "alarm went off properly\n" };
eval {
alarm( 3 );
1 while 1;
alarm( 0 );
};
warn "\$\@ = $@";
} )->join;
=================================================================
$ perl alarm 1
$@ = alarm went off properly
$ perl alarm
Alarm clock
0 ~$ bleadperl ~/tmp/test
Alarm clock
0 ~$ bleadperl ~/tmp/test 1
...hang...

To be quite honest, I've given up on threads in Perl 5.
Signals and threads in Perl are the Wild West, really, last time I checked....
