But they already provide you with the Win32::Process module, which is the correct course of action ot take. If I understand you correctly, you can just use Win32::Process's Wait() and Kill() functions to implement the alarm - if the executable is launched using Win32::Process's Create() function. I don't see a need for either Time::HiRes or output redirection (though I could be missing something).
