How can I time out a subroutine/function?
print "My code is executing...the next sub inokation
takes a long time simetimes. SO, I want to ensure that
at max it should take 5 secsonds.";
my $device_name = Quota::getqcarg($path);
I want to timeout Quota::getqcarg($path) but I don't
want to use the $SIG{ALRM} technique because I am
using a older version of Perl which doesn't support
safe/defferred signals.
Is there any other technique by which I can achive
this timeout?
Thanks,
Arijit
