Hello all - I've written a new module called System::Timeout that I'm
planning toput on CPAN.

Take a look at the documentation(produced by pod2text) and tell me what you
think.

thank you for your time.



NAME
    System::Timeout - Extend <system> to Allow Timeout after specified
seconds

SYNOPSIS
      use System::Timeout qw(system);
      system("3", "sleep 9");

      % timeout --timeout=3 "sleep 9"  #Run command "Sleep 9" and timeout
after 3 seconds

DESCRIPTION
    This module takes the existing File::Glob module as a starting point and
    extends it to allow timeout after the specified seconds and log the
    command in file.

    This can be useful when invoking <system> in daemon.

    This also include a cli tool "timeout" which can be easily used to force
    command exit after specified seconds.

    This module is based on core function <fork> and <exec>.
