Is it possible to (easily) tell perl to kill itself and all children if the script doesn't execute in x seconds?
I thought about forking the script and having the parent sleep for x seconds at the top of the process, but that seems like a lot of extra code. I was hoping there was a timeout_process(x) function / CPAN module.
