Are you using the latest version of ActiveState Perl? I installed the
latest version this morning to test the code I sent and when I run
perldoc -T perlport | find /i alarm
I get not output. The first three functions listed are -X, atan2, and binmode.
In fact, the reference to alarm drops out of perlport in version 5.8.3
(released in 2004).
from Perl 5.8.3's Changes file
[ 21895]
alarm() is now implemented on Win32.
