1. As I explained in the original post, I was trying to write a
generic wrapper around long running operations. Most involve
WWW::Mechanize, but not all. Even if WWW::Mechanize provided a timeout
method (see point 2), it would be the wrong approach, and would only
partially solve the problem.

2. If WWW::Mechanize provides a timeout method, it would have been
helpful to have mentioned it in the documentation. Or am I just
supposed to mystically know these things somehow?

man WWW::Mechanize | grep -i timeout
