CPAN module Coro provides threading support. Here we create a thread $p to do some work, and in the main thread we cede control to it within a loop doing other work. When the current time minus start time exceed 5 seconds, we cancel thread $p.
Timeout::timeout(5) { p }On time out, this results in a TimeOut::Error object, which should be rescued.
The name p is also a built-in, though.
