Thanks for your effort on this.

Just a suggestion:
Why not make the parent process test if the child process is still running? 
That way if the server dies after one second you don't end up waiting another
29 seconds needlessly.

I don't know perl but certainly in C/C++ etc. you can test for the existence of
a process by trying to do kill( pid, 0 ).  If there is no such process, you get
errno= ESRCH.

In fact, if this works you could perhaps get rid of the timeout altogether (no
need to just give up on slow systems if they are still going).
