NAME

       Munin::Common::Timeout - Run code with a timeout. May nest.

SYNOPSIS

        use Munin::Common::Timeout;

        do_with_timeout(50, sub {
            # ...
               do_with_timeout(5, sub {
                       # ...
                       # ...
               });
            # ...
        });

DESCRIPTION

       See also Time::Out, Sys::AlarmCall

SUBROUTINES

       do_with_timeout
            my $finished_with_no_timeout = do_with_timeout($seconds, $code_ref)
                or die "Timed out!";

           Executes $block with a timeout of $seconds.  Returns the return value of the $block if
           it completed within the timeout.  If the timeout is reached and the code is still
           running, it halts it and returns undef.

           NB: every $code_ref should return something defined, otherwise the caller doesn't know
           if a timeout occurred.

           Calls to do_with_timeout() can be nested.  Any exceptions raised by $block are
           propagated.
