Perl uses SIGALRM to implement alarms, something which is not an option
when you're an Apache module.

Personally, I think having an alarm (timeout) function is a really good
idea.
Setting a timer, and then being able to jump from whatever you are doing if
it is taking too long is something that has helped me do some really neat
stuff in C and Perl... and I was a little dissapointed when I learned

But this still doesn't let you apply a timeout to a specific block of code.

I would like to see a timeout function implemented in PHP (something like
Perl's alarm function would be perfect). I notice there is a
set_time_limit() function in PHP, but it cannot be applied to a specified
