Subject: [plug] Perl: handling blocking reads "nicely"
this SEEMS to work, but i'm not too confident about it because i don't
know how alarm() and signal() interact with each other. certainly sleep()
interferes with signal() and select() which is used for network I/O.
sleep() doesnt interferes with signal() and select()... but signal()
interferes with sleep() and select()...
setting an alarm() sets a timer to deliver the signal SIGALRM to the calling
process after the specified number of second(s)...
fooler.
