Hello !

I use Perl Sybase DBI driver with FreeTDS. How can I use timeouts in my
Perl scripts ? I think that connect_timeout, query_timeout variables are
not avaible in CTlib layer ? I found only the only one way is to use
alarm() and cauch SIGALRM signal. I need this because I have not stable
link, somethink like DialUp.

Best regards, Nil.
