Thanks Jay. I can't believe I didn't think of that myself. I put in the 1;'s and the "or die". It's not that the requires are failing - I get the same results. I added print $@; right after the eval block. Each time, that reads "The Unsupported function alarm function is unimplemented at line 5." What does that mean? Fred
That means you don't have an alarm function, which probably means you're on Windows (AFAIK everything else implements a system alarm). If that's the case, you need to stop before you write any more code and read the perlport and Win32 manpages cover to cover. Then go take a look at the docs for the Win32 and Win32::Process modules. Doing that now will save you a lot of frustration later. You may also want to pick up a copy of Learning Perl on Win32 Systems. Since Windows doesn't implement an alarm function, you're probably going to need to rethink your approach: timing out require isn't really a viable option. Take a look at the combination of create and wait from WIn32::Process.
