Thanks for trying, but this right here is the heart of the matter. I'd be
using alarm to time a certain thing. It seems to me, any explanation of how
to do that, be it plain English or sample code has to incorporate that thing.
My program in a nutshell goes:
Blah blah blah the beginning part
require someprogramthatmayhaveaninfiniteloop.pl
Blah blah blah the ending part
Note that's not the literal code. :)
As it stands if someprogramthatmayhaveaninfiniteloop.pl does go on
forever I will never get to the ending part. How would one add alarm to this
such that the ending part gets executed regardless?

Hm... somebody else may explain this much better than I;
hOURS, I noticed that you sometimes bottom post, but usually you top
post. Why?
Hint: bottom-posting is smarter.
