I'm sure that this is probably an FAQ (couldn't find anything
on my searches though).
All references establish that ithreads doesn't like signaling
too well, I've verified that as well :-)
Is there a substitute method of the ALRM based timeout?
In other words something similar to this:
eval {
$| = 1;
local $SIG{ALRM} = sub { die 'timeout!' };
alarm($timeoutsec);
# DO SOMETHING HERE
$status = do_something();
alarm(0);
};
if(!$status) {
# Timed out
# HANDLE THE TIMEOUT PROPERLY
}
Thanks,
Alberto
