unsupported function
I am getting this weird error message: The Unsupported function alarm function is unimplemented at SiteTest.pm line 42. here is the code: alarm 20; I also get this error in any other module that I call that use larm( Net::Ping for example) Now, I always thought that the alarm function was part of core Perl.

It is, but it requires support from the operating system to work. Your OS doesn't have an equivalent. Assuming your OS is Win32, this is documented in perldoc perlport. I am using ActiveState ActivePerl 5.3.1 build 631 Surely you mean 5.6.1, not 5.3.1.
