[Dbix-class] Connection timeouts?

[Ben Tilly]

The obvious thing to try is to use the alarm() function to send
yourself a signal and set a signal handler that will just die to
escape.  But this is unlikely to work due to safe signals.  Search for
"Safe Signals" in perldoc perlipc for details.  It will also show you
how to use the POSIX module to set a signal handler that can work
despite that.
