## use_alarm

     $ua->use_alarm([boolean])

Retrieves or defines the ability to use `alarm` for timeouts. By default, timeouts with `alarm` are enabled. If you plan on using `alarm` for your own purposes, or it isn't supported on your system, it is recommended that you disable `alarm` by calling this method with a value of zero.
