Gee Dave, I know of a book that has scripts that
already do this. ;)
Here's an untested bit of code to demonstrate.
my $dbh;
eval {
local $SIG{ALRM} = sub {
die "connection timeout\n";
};
alarm 60;
$dbh = DBI->connect(
'dbi:Oracle:' . $db,
$username, $password,
{
RaiseError => 1,
AutoCommit => 0,
}
);
};
# the alarm reset must be outside the eval{}
alarm 0;
I say untested cuz I simplified it a bit after lifting
it from a script.
HTH,
Jared
