See attached perl script. It creates a network port and waits for connections. It is suppose to time out in 30 seconds. The program works on Linux and on HPUX. But doesn't work on VMS. It never times out on VMS.
On Linux:
# perl setalarm.pl
setting alarm
1. process timed out at setalarm.pl line 10.
closing socket
On VMS (perl 5.8.6 with ECO1):
$ perl setalarm.pl
setting alarm
Perl script:
use IO::Socket::INET;
my $server = IO::Socket::INET -> new (
LocalPort => 5556,
Type => SOCK_STREAM,
Reuse => 1,
Listen => 30);
eval {
local $SIG{ALRM} = sub { die "process timed out"; };
print "setting alarm\n";
alarm 10;
eval {
my $client => $server -> accept();
};
alarm 0;
print "1. $@\n" if ($@);
};
alarm 0;
print "2. $@\n" if ($@);
print "closing socket\n";
close ($server);
