Hello all - I've written a new module called System::Timeout that I'm
planning toput on CPAN.
Take a look at the documentation(produced by pod2text) and tell me what you
think.
thank you for your time.
NAME
System::Timeout - Extend <system> to Allow Timeout after specified
seconds
SYNOPSIS
use System::Timeout qw(system);
system("3", "sleep 9");
% timeout --timeout=3 "sleep 9" #Run command "Sleep 9" and timeout
after 3 seconds
DESCRIPTION
This module takes the existing File::Glob module as a starting point and
extends it to allow timeout after the specified seconds and log the
command in file.
This can be useful when invoking <system> in daemon.
This also include a cli tool "timeout" which can be easily used to force
command exit after specified seconds.
This module is based on core function <fork> and <exec>.
