I would start by executing the sub program in a seperate thread. That way the main thread can keep an eye on it and decide if it's run too long and then do something about it. Another way to do it is with Win32::Process and then kill them after some time span.

There's a problem in that some of these sub-programs may have infinite loops, which would cause the main program to hang. I'd like the main program to just detect such and go on to the next one. How might I do that? The alarm function seemed to be the way to go - but not with Windows. Can I do something with wait and create? Any other ideas? -- REMEMBER THE WORLD TRADE CENTER ---=< WTC 911 >=-- "...ne cede malis" 00000100 _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
