OK. I've replicated this with 5.8.8-9 and see your problem.
On what version did this work for you?
I see that there is code in Time/HiRes.xs to emulate ualarm() using
setitimer() which seems to correctly set the sec/usec components of
the timeval (it_value/it_interval) arguments, but this is not being
used with my current libc which has ualarm().
It seems possible that the version which worked for you was built
using this emiulated version. The current build is calling ualarm()
directly.
Note the manual page for ualarm() states that values >= 1000000 may
cause EINVAL (as is occuring here).
