The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Proc::Watchdog
DSLIP: RdpOp
description: Reliably timeout operations without ALRM
userid: LUISMUNOZ (Luis Muņoz)
chapterid: 4 (Operating_System_Interfaces)

rationale:
There are some scenarios (notably, DBD::Oracle) when traditional
alarm() cannot be used to timeout from a blocked operation.
Proc::Watchdog implements a service that allows the reliable
detection of timeouts, even in cases where ALRM cannot be used.
It contains the name 'Watchdog' because part of the use of this
module, involves running a watchdog process in the background,
looking for timeouts.
