Hello, I hear that Win32 cann't use "alarm" for a timeout. The sample code in Camel book or Cookbook is not valid on Win32. Is this true even now?
I must execute some external command by @rc = `SOME.exe`, which may hung sometimes. These are SQLPLUS and FTP and any with -B(atch) option. Sometimes I can do by DBI and Net::FTP and... but sometimes I don't have a work-around. Any idea?
