I want alarm() under Win32 so badly, I can taste it.
However, since I can't get there from here, I'm looking at workarounds. If
I were under Unix, and for some silly reason alarm didn't work...I could
use a second process to notify the first process when the time had expired.
The natural mechanism for doing this would be a signal.
But signals aren't supported under Win32 either.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how either of these can be overcome? I'm
willing to patch Perl if I have to, but lord knows I don't want to. Is
there any kind of pre-emptive notification method between threads that can
be caught?
