Hi,
   I am working with Perl 5.001m for Windows NT. I have installed
libwww-perl 5b6 on my computer. Now I am running test to make sure that
everything works fine. Here is the biggest problem I have come across. The
alarm() function is not implemented for the NT version. But useragent.pm
uses it, as do other classes. 
    I am fairly new to perl. Modifying perl programs is one thing but
modifying Object-Oriented perl libraries for NT is quite a different animal.
I shall appreciate any help I can get from anyone who has adapted the lib
for NT.
   Thanks in advace.
