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.

Thanks in advance,

Dan
