how to timeout an operation under mod

diego_de_lima has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi monks, I´m trying to timeout DBI operations under mod_perl - like aborting a SELECT statement if DBI don´t returns in 10 seconds.

I know mod_perl has some limitations with signals, and also that Perl timeout signal has some other limitations.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
