Actually it should be possible. At least on Linux all threads have their own PID, which means running the perl script thread will receive the alarm signal and it&#39;ll be isolated from other FreeSWITCH threads. perlrun just needs to install its own signal handlers when started to capture that (and possibly other) signals and pass them to the interpreter to be handled internally, then restore the original signal handlers when the script finishes. SIGALRM is often used for timeouts, so this could break a number of Perl modules and prevent them being used from mod_perl.<div>

<br></div><div>Terminating the process is the default action on SIGALRM though, which is why it currently exits freeswitch (FS doesn&#39;t install a signal handler of its own, and mod_perl doesn&#39;t either).<br><div><br>
