I wrote a test and indeed it doesn't work. Nor with:

         local $ENV{PERL_SIGNALS} = "unsafe";

         eval {
             local $SIG{ALRM} = sub { die "alarm" };
             alarm 2;
             run_for_5_sec();
             alarm 0;
         };

I'll try to figure out what's going wrong here. Most likely Apache signal 
trapping gets on the way.

It works under cgi, since it's a separate process, not controlled by Apache.
