He is correct, but I don't think it will solve the compatibility
problem, since ActiveState perl doesn't support the alarm() function
and does not define the POSIX macro SIGALRM...
I think we'll have to use the 'timeout' option to IO::Socket::INET,
except that the timeout doesn't catch everything and is only
semi-reliable. I am still scouting the net for answers, but haven't
found an acceptable solution that is truly portable...

Does anyone else have any suggestions (yourself included Vlad)
