[MacPerl] Timeout/Alarms

[Strider <Strider@baka.com>]

	I'm writing a port scanner (for white hat use, of course =) and
I've run into a bit of a snag. There's a server on our net that's lagged-
it takes so long to connect to each port (or to be denied the connection)
that I'm going to have to skip the server on my passes altogether, unless I
can somehow set a timeout for my connect()'s. I had a thought that (at
least in the UNIX world) such a thing might be accomplished with an alarm
or system call. How would I do it on a mac?
