Got this from the SF guys (fyi):
<snip>
The portability problem should not be unique to the SF code. On line
242 of the module OPS.pm in version 2.49 of the supported code:
sigaction SIGALRM, new POSIX::SigAction( 'OPS::alrm_handler' );
alarm( $timeout );
On line 164 of the module OPS::Sock of version 1.53 of the SF code:
sigaction SIGALRM, new POSIX::SigAction('Sock::alrm_handler');
return alarm($timeout);
Both utilize POSIX in an attempt to have a portable signal handling
mechanism. Unfortunately, some systems claim POSIX compliance, but
fall short.
There's a solution out there, I just haven't tracked it down yet...
