This module is to help people handle these things. I guess some lazy boys want the module maybe.It`s really troublesome adding a alarm() after every system(), especially in a exist big program. This module will handle everything, include timeout, local %SIG,$@,right exit code,etc. Boys only use System::Timeout.all done. I guess it help people saving SIGALRM for something else too.
