Sys::AlarmCall 1.2

Sys::AlarmCall is a package to handle the logic in timing out calls with alarm() and an ALRM handler, allowing nested calls as well. SYNOPSIS use Sys::AlarmCall; $result = alarm_call($timeout1,$func1,@args1); @result = alarm_call($timeout2,$func2,@args2); Sys::AlarmCall provides a straightforward function call to use the alarm handler. It also handles the logic which allows nested time out calls if timeout calls are run thorugh the alarm_call() functions. The main advantages of Sys::AlarmCall are that: 1. simple calls, e.g. @result = &func(@args); #Normal function call with & $result = func(@args);; #Normal function call @result = &$code_reference(@args); @result = $obj->func(@args); #Object method call become simple calls: @result = alarm_call($timeout,&func,@args); $result = alarm_call($timeout,func,@args); @result = alarm_call($timeout,$code_reference,@args); @result = alarm_call($timeout,->func,$obj,@args);.
