Hi,
I have a thread that invokes system("command") that may stuck. I can't let this thread
die because it may take a lot of time. Example:
threads->new(\&srun);
..
..
sub srun {
system("....");
threads->self->join;
}
I need to kill the system command if it takes more than define timeout.
Thanks,
Igor

instead of killing a thread, why not just let the thread die when you need
to kill it? take a look at Thread::Exit and Thread::Suspend, they let you
kill / suspend / resume threads
