Time-Out
(0.05)
A great module.
The reason I give it only 4 stars is the frivolous 'affects' syntax. It looks like it adds semantics, but it's actually a no-op. You can (and should) just say “timeout $x => sub { ... }†to make this clear.
Other than that, I have no complaints: the interface is natural, the docs are as exhaustive as such a trivial interface requires, and ease of use… well, it would be hard to make this difficult to use.

This is a great idea: the module has an intuitive interface for implementing time-outs. And (unlike many other time-out/alarm modules on CPAN) it has tests!
The only downside is that it does not work for blocking I/O (at least not on Windows).
Note: this is a review of v0.01
