Anyone knows how to write a timeout script using perl, basically I
want to like this,



* Use perl to connect to an oracle database

* After 5 minutes cannot connect to the database through
database listener, get a timeout message and email to a distribution
list





Thanks,

Allen

perldoc -f alarm
perldoc perlipc
